 Hi, I'm Catherine Unsworth from the Australian Research Data Commons. Welcome to the Skills Impact and Strategy Community discussion today. Skills training and its impact is a very current topic, but it's also a complex one. We won't necessarily solve any national level issues today, but we can certainly shine a light on them for future action. Before we begin, I would like to acknowledge and celebrate the first Australians on whose traditional lands we meet and pay my respect to the elders past, present and emerging. I would specifically like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands from which I come to you today, the Boonarong people of the Southeastern Kulin Nation. Now, I have a slide in most of my slide decks. It's really self-explanatory and I've included it in the shared doc for everyone's reference. All relevant links for today are listed in a single document for convenience sake. We'll pop that link to the relevant link stock for attendees into the chat periodically and Liz will probably do that for me in a second, no doubt. Thanks. So, just a quick overview of today's program. We'll kick off with a quick mentee poll followed by the BOF session, where there will be a number of presentations and breakout room discussions. Let's then take a 30-minute break. This will be followed by an interactive session on tips and tricks for improving your training impact. We'll take a short breather after that and come back together for Dr. Anna Wilkinson's presentation, Coding and Software Club at the Burnett Institute. I knew I was gonna stumble on this word, a Sisyphean story of normalizing peer-to-peer learning. This will be followed by another short and then we'll finish the day in Gather Town for a little informal and hopefully fun networking. Now, I'm just going to go to the next slide for Liz to talk about Gather Town. Thank you, Catherine. So, this afternoon in our networking session, we've got an exciting botanical garden for you to explore, which will have some fun games on outside tables and siding fountain with ducks for you to maneuver around in. My tips will, in the event document, there's a link to the Gather Town space. All you will need to do is follow that link and then Gather will prompt you to give it access to your microphone and your camera. And as you can see there, it will look a little bit like this and you can see my little face down in the bottom right-hand corner, which is what it looks like when your camera is on. Allow a few minutes to set up your avatar as you can kind of see in 8-bit glory. I'm wearing a yellow pirate hat and you can too, if you want. And then if you're new together, the little Gather Bot Riley will give you a quick tutorial guide to using the controls, which are basically the arrow keys and the X key to interact. And we'll see you in there. So roughly about four o'clock will be like the kickoff kind of time. So thank you. Thanks, Liz. OK, so focusing in on our topic for discussion today at the Skills Summit a couple of weeks ago, we as a community surfaced a number of really great ideas around skills challenges and opportunities to look at in 2022. Interestingly, the top two ideas that came out of the summit related to training metrics and the impact and the need for the skills business training business case for our higher ups, the people that we report to. So we can unpack these further in discussions today, but surely this is a masterful piece of planning. Don't you think? The top two ideas both relate to training impacts. I said this event up very nicely. So the challenge today is looking at how we measure what could be referred to as the ripple effect of training. A non-truial task, yes, but we've got some great speakers and participants here today with a wealth of experience to share. And of course, where would we be without a model? I always love a good model or framework. The Kirk-Patrick model for learning evaluation has been around for a long time now, adapted and tweaked in many various ways. This diagrammatic representation here is an adapted version which includes the question around return on investment and effort. I thought it might be a useful reference point for framing our thinking today. If we had to convince the higher ups of the value of digital research skills training, we need to take an intentional approach to measuring the outcomes of our training efforts. Otherwise, we'll struggle to paint an accurate picture of the impact our training programs actually realize.
