Adapting UPSKILLS Learning Modules to the University Curricula

Best Practices and Lessons Learnt from the H2IOSC Training Experience at the University of Ferrara

Abstract

This paper details the steps taken to adapt and integrate the training materials developed by CLARIN ERIC in two bachelor’s degree courses and one master’s degree course at the University of Ferrara. The workflow applies the shared methodology developed within the Humanities and Heritage Italian Open Science Cloud project. It modifies the training materials of the UPSKILLS course “Introduction to Language Data: Standards and Repositories” according to the needs of three target courses focusing on English to Italian translation: English Language Course for Tourism, English Language for Translation and English Language and Linguistics for Humanities, Arts and Archaeology. The result of this pilot is a documented example of how CLARIN services can be integrated into university teaching, including initial teacher training, and providing an opportunity to discuss the topic and a use case for trainers who intend to include CLARIN in their courses.
