This repository contains DataONE Education Modules that have been updated and translated from PowerPoint format to a more easily updated format that you can view in your browser. Each Education Module contains a set of slides with annotations, as well as a hands on exercise and a one-page explanatory sheet that distills the main points and lessons to take away. The Education Modules are intended to be flexible and updated by a range of users and audiences. Please let us know what you think!
A list of the lessons can be found on the repository's website. The first page will present you with a list of the available lessons. Clicking on each lesson will bring you to the lesson page, where you can launch the presentation, download a PDF, or see the handout and exercices.
Each of the DataONE Education Modules is comprised of three parts: a set of slides with presenter notes, a one-page explanatory sheet, and a hands-on exercise. These materials are meant to be flexible. They are usable and adaptable for use in a range of contexts -- for personal education, in classroom settings, by librarians teaching data management workshops, and more.
The slides are provided as HTML documents that you can view and present in your browser, with or without the annotated notes. Everything should work in recent versions of the Firefox, Chrome, and Safari browsers. Please note that your browser needs to allow Javascript.
Once the presentation has started, you can change slides by pressing the left and right arrows, or by swiping left or right on a touch-enabled device.
Once the presentation is started, there are a few features you can use. Pressing
c will duplicate the presentation window in a new pop-up window. Your browser
may prompt you to allow or reject this pop-up window. The two windows are in
sync. Pressing p will open the presenter mode in the currently focused window.
Presenter mode has a timer, a display of the current and next slides, along with
their notes. Finally, pressing f will activate fullscreen for the currently
focused window.
A good workflow for presentations would therefore be to (i) start the
presentation, (ii) press c to open a new window, (iii) move the new window to
the screen your audience will see, (iv) press f to make it fullscreen, and (v)
press p on the version on your screen to see the presenter notes. This will
essentially emulate the behavior of presentation software like PowerPoint,
LibreOffice Impress, or Keynote.
