Data and scripts for evaluation of researcher training in spreadsheet curation

Abstract

In 2016, new training on spreadsheet curation was introduced at The University of Sydney to address a gap between practical software skills training and generalised research data management training. This project evaluates the training by measuring the uptake of and feedback on the training. This dataset includes the data and scripts used to analyse and evaluate the spreadsheet curation training offered at The University of Sydney between September and November 2016. The data includes training attendance and feedback, as well as data about published datasets in The University of Sydney's institutional repository. The analysis scripts in python and R and the figures and statistical outputs generated by those scripts are also included. The results were presented at the International Digital Curation Conference (IDCC) 2017 in Edinburgh.
