These courses are hosted on OceanTeacher Global Academy and are run over five days with interactive discussion sessions and presentations in the mornings and independent study in the afternoons. Workshops are modular, allowing attendees to attend all, or specific parts of the training, depending on individual requirements. See the virtual workshop schedule below for further details.
  The course can be taken as a whole, or attendees can select modules. The course features interactive training and discussion sessions, quizzes, and assignments to help users become familiar with:

• Why data management is important and how it can, and arguably should be, part of an organisation's business management framework alongside quality, occupational health and safety, and information security
• The role of a data policy and management plan, and how data can be shared, published and re-used
• Data management principles, standards and components, including data lifecycle and quality, the role of vocabularies (or data dictionaries) and the importance of creating, maintaining and publishing metadata
• The resources and other benefits of MEDIN, plus practical instruction in the use of the MEDIN data guidelines, metadata standard and controlled vocabularies
• How data management ‘best practice’ can improve organisational efficiency in data acquisition, analysis, curation and sharing. It covers data use with respect to corporate risk, re-use, audit and traceability, whilst at the same time helping minimising costs

  The course will equip attendees to better meet the challenge of keeping on top of the ever-increasing volumes and types of data that are being created and how to manage this data and make it available to users as meaningful information.
