General guidance

  • Please use the Media:DataShortCourseModuleTemplate.ppt template
  • Please use sentence case for all titles on every page
  • As long as all the information mentioned in the template is covered, please feel free to add, subtract or combine body pages of the module as needed; however, keep the References and Resources slide and Other Relevant Modules slides separate so that those materials can be aggregated together when a person uses multiple modules within a single presentation
  • If your module runs to 10 slides or more, please contact Ruth and split the module into smaller pieces
  • When developing a module please ensure that the contents reflect the ESIP membership. It isn't necessary to cover fields, agencies, etc. that are outside the ESIP family. If a module is specific to a particular group (discipline or agency) the module title needs to reflect that!

Module cover page

  • Please put the name of the module in the "Subtitle" field
  • Please put the section header for the module in the "Module Template" field
    • For example, the section header for the NSF data management plan module is Agency requirements
    • For example, the section header for Agency requirements module is "The case for data stewardship"
  • Author names and organizations
    • Use Firstname Lastname format for each name (e.g., Joe Smith)
    • Separate first/last name pairs by commas (e.g., Joe Smith, John Doe)
    • If there are multiple organizations indicate that using superscripts
      • For example
        • Joe Smith 1, John Doe 2
        • 1 OrganizationA
        • 2 OrganizationB
