Description
Building on last year’s OpenRefine 2024 Barcamp: Approaches to Training People to Use OpenRefine this session brings together experienced trainers to share practical tips, materials, and lessons learned when teaching OpenRefine to diverse audiences. We’ll discuss designing hands-on exercises, managing mixed-skill groups, leveraging remote training tools, and setting up follow-up support structures (office hours, community calls, etc.). Whether you’re new to training or a seasoned educator, come contribute your insights and take away a richer toolkit for your next workshop.
