Programme delivery

Important

Existing materials for the Train-the-Trainer program can be found here: https://lmu-osc.github.io/train-the-trainer-open-research/.

Goal of delivering the program

With the Train-the-Trainer program, we aim to:

  • Encourage researchers and educators at LMU familiar with open research to disseminate their open research knowledge and skills through teaching (standalone open research modules, or individual workshops/seminars..)
  • Familiarize a broad audience across the LMU with open research principles and the relevance for their own work, e.g., Master students, PhDs, PostDocs, PIs, research support staff…

Delivery options

An overview of possible delivery options and formats for the train-the-trainer program. Note that these were pulled from brainstorming discussions and are not fully developed ideas.

What Target audience Timeframe Concept/notes Feasability
Consultation and follow-up on open research teaching plans Track 2 participants from LMU (PhDs, PostDocs) variable Follow-up, consult and support Track 2 LMU participants to deliver their workshop, possibly co-teach or support Have trainers teach parts of SWoP?
Standalone train-the-trainer course Track 1 participants from LMU (PhDs, PostDocs) 2 days Two-day course following the program of Track 2 of the Open Science Summer School 2026
Standalone train-the-trainer course SWoP participants (PhDs, PostDocs) 1 day Modified program of Track 2 of the Open Science Summer School 2026 Attach to SWoP sessions
Standalone train-the-trainer course Principal investigators from LMU 1 day Asychronous introductory lectures and modified program of Track 2 of the Open Science Summer School 2026 to convey basic teaching and leadership skills for OS teaching
Introduction to Open Research Principal investigators from LMU 2 - 4 hours Modified versions of the introductory and solution slides (watch online first). No hands-on experience required; aim is to improve their conceptual understanding, why it is important, and to reduce misconceptions and myths. (cf. devil’s advocate game in prereg; “common myths” to debunk). Potential format: They should watch the lecture at least once (could be done asynchronously as a video), then have a 2h session which (a) points towards next steps (in-depth material, what comes next) and (b) interactively (in person?) work on misconceptions (gamification)

Standalone course: Outline

Designed for PhDs, PostDocs, PIs etc. with experience in Open Research over a two-day period or four mornings/afternoons; modelled after Open Science Summer School 2026.
