There are 2 webinars from the Public Interest Data Literacy (PIDLit) project in the USA, which I blogged about a few months ago. "PIDLit is focused on reaching first-year students and underrepresented groups and seeks to expand programs that promote data literacy for the public good and build a more diverse pipeline of students pursuing careers in data science." I think both webinars have similar goals.
- Defining Data Literacy for First-Year College Students. March 31, 12 noon-1.30pm US Eastern time (which is, e.g. 5pm-6.30pm UK time) "In this conversation about the Public Interest Data Literacy (PIDLit) initiative, panelists from Georgia State University and their interuniversity partners will provide an overview of program goals and gather feedback from panelists and attendees as to what constitutes “data literacy for the public good.” Registration & list of speakers here.
- The Public Interest Data Literacy (“PIDLit”) Initiative: Sharing and Gathering Feedback. April 22, 2pm–3pm US Eastern time (which is, e.g., 7-8pm UK time). "panelists and presenters from Georgia State University and their interuniversity partners (Clemson University, North Carolina State University, and University of Cincinnati) will provide an overview of program goals and gather feedback from panelists and attendees on what constitutes “data literacy for the public good.” This discussion will also highlight the role of libraries in fostering data literacy in undergraduates" Registration & list of speakers here.
