[DDI-users] New DDI Trainer Selected

[William C. Block]

This is great news; congratulations, Jon!

And also very exciting that 10 highly qualified people applied and a broader train the trainer initiative may be possible as well.  All very good for DDI, and hats off to the trainers who have carried so much of the load to date!

Bill

Dear DDI Community,

The DDI Alliance and GESIS are pleased to announce that Jon Johnson<http://www.ioe.ac.uk/staff/clss_25.html> from the Institute of Education, University of London, has been chosen for the new DDI trainer position<http://www.ddialliance.org/node/922> and will participate in this year's training workshop<http://www.gesis.org/en/events/gesis-workshops/2014-ddi/>, which will take place at Schloss Dagstuhl on October 13-17, 2014, with a week of preparation the preceding week at GESIS in Mannheim.

Jon brings a wealth of experience in managing and documenting longitudinal data along with an extensive network of partners that are candidates for DDI training. He has a strong vision for DDI training and for encouraging the use and adoption of DDI around the world.

The training opportunity generated a lot of interest, with ten very qualified people applying. We hope to offer it again in the future and are considering a broader "train the trainer" initiative that would involve more people.
