SUMMARY:Course Design Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Apply by August 6 \nThe Course Design Intensive (CDI) will be offered in August 2026 for faculty members who would like to re/design a for-credit course they will be offering in September or later.   \nThe CDI is an intensive program in which participants work\, individually and collaboratively\, to design or re-design a course they are (or will be) teaching. Throughout the workshop\, participants will acquire a broadened understanding of course design concepts\, learn to incorporate EDI practices\, and gain skills and tools they can apply to their own course. The focus of the workshop is on having participants work with the major concepts and questions that need to be considered as they design a course. Ultimately\, the goal of the CDI is to support instructors as they work to enhance their students’ learning.  \nApplication Process \nApplications close on August 6\, 2026  \nDuring this application process for the CDI\, you will be asked about details of your course\, your previous course design experience\, your teaching experience\, and your learning goals for the CDI. The facilitators of the CDI will review your application and contact you by email in about two weeks.  \nFormat of the CDI  \nThe CDI is a two-week workshop that combines synchronous and asynchronous learning activities. Before our official launching meeting\, you’ll engage in independent reading and reflection through guided activities. We’ll then officially meet in person on August 10 to share insights and consolidate our learning.  \nFollowing this\, you’ll continue developing your course independently while participating in collaborative Zoom sessions on August 12 and 14 focused on key aspects of course design. Throughout the two weeks\, there will also be opportunities for consultations and check-ins with facilitators.  \nThe CDI follows a “flipped” model\, meaning you’ll complete preparatory work ahead of each session\, which we’ll build upon during our synchronous meetings. We’ll reconvene in person on August 24 to refine your course design and prepare for a strong start to the teaching term.  \nAugust 2026 (Hybrid)  \nThe workshop consists of two in-person sessions and two Zoom sessions.  \n\nLaunch Session: August 10\, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM\, Seminar Room 2.22\n\n\nAssessment Design: August 12\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\, Zoom \n\n\nLearning Activity Design: August 14\, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM\, Zoom \n\n\nWrap-up & Launch Forward Session: August 24\, 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM\, Seminar Room 2.22\n\nFor more information\, please contact judy.chan@ubc.ca. \nPlease register to secure your spot.\nRegister

SUMMARY:Data Bites – Introduction to Manual Data De-identification
DESCRIPTION:Workshop: Introduction to Manual Data De-identification \nThis practical workshop\, delivered by the UBC Library Research Data Management team\, is the second session in a four‑part series on de-identifying and preparing sensitive data for responsible research use and sharing. Building on the concepts introduced in the first session\, this hands‑on workshop focuses on applied manual techniques for de-identifying datasets containing sensitive information. \nParticipants will learn how to: \n\nApply core manual de-identification methods\, including anonymization\, pseudonymization\, aggregation\, masking\, generalization\, and local suppression\, to protect participant privacy.\nWork through a step-by-step de-identification workflow\, addressing direct identifiers\, dates\, geographic data\, and variables linkable to external sources.\nSelect the most appropriate de-identification method for each variable type based on sensitivity and analytical need.\nAssess the anonymity of a finalized dataset using measures such as k-anonymity to evaluate whether it is sufficiently de-identified for sharing.\n\nNote: This workshop provides a foundational introduction to manual data de-identification. Participants are encouraged to consult their institutional privacy\, legal\, or compliance experts for guidance on specific datasets.
