Issue Summary

As part of a broad effort to provide more training about data throughout the University of Maine System, a number of training modules and workshops are in various stages of planning and development. The goals for this collection of trainings & workshops were to:

  • Ensure consistent basic data training across all university units
  • Provide written & video resources to data consumers & users
  • Establish networks through which data consumers and users can collaborate, pose questions, and be referred to resources

Resolution Summary

An Introduction to Institutional Data Training video was created and added to the DG Moments YouTube channel. It is also accessible in a Google Form which includes the video as well as two long-answer assessment questions. Individuals requesting a Power BI Pro license using the license request application form will be forwarded to the Institutional Training Google Form to watch the video and complete the assessment. Form responses are reviewed by the Director for Institutional Data Management who emails the Power BI administrator to approve the Power BI license request training requirement.
