Professional Learning Resources
I do try to be productive with the free time that working from home affords me. Also, because of the COVID-19 challenges, I am finding the availability of online professional learning resources very abundant! For example, I was fortunate to find a series of professional learning webinars in quantitative data analysis and research methodology. I completed a data certification through Georgia State University's Research Data Services program. Click the following link, Professional Learning Resources List, to the Google Drive spreadsheet for professional learning descriptions and screenshots for courses and webinars completed through Fall semester 2020.
I feel accomplished obtaining the data certification. To get a data certification from Georgia State University's Research Data Services program, a learner must attend a minimum of five online webinars. I attended six webinars between June 8, 2020, through June 29, 2020. I have professional experience in survey and quantitative research methods, so I pursued the certification to sharpen my skills. Below are the images of confirmation of attendance to the webinars. For a description of each webinar, click on the webinar's date and title on the right side of the image.
Also, click on the following link for a visualization of my professional development activities for June 2021-October 2021 Professional Development Report- Zena Patton_nov2021.pdf . According to the report, I have spent most of my professional activities learning new skills in data processing for information services. I used Microsoft BI to visualize my report of my professional development activities.
