Is there any cost to attend the Metadata Co-op Webinars?
There is no cost for any of the Metadata Co-op's education webinars.
Should I take the webinars in a specific order?
We're leveraging the Crawl-Walk-Run methodology, giving you just as much information as you need at each step, so yes, you will want to attend the sessions in order. To make it as easy as possible for you to attend the webinars when it's convenient for you, webinars are offered continuously and may be viewed either on-demand or attended live.
Most attendees will want to take the current roster of webinars in the following order. Whenever in doubt about what webinars are available, when or what session to take next, visit metadata.pbs.org/training.
Who should attend the Introduction to EIDR webinar?
Any staff from any PBS member station may attend the Introduction to EIDR Webinar (ideally after attending at least Metadata 101 and possibly the Metadata Model for Content Discovery webinars).
EIDR registration has the greatest impact when done at the top of the content production lifecycle, when a project is first acquired or greenlit for production. For that reason, the following list of station staff roles will benefit most from attendance at this webinar. (Note that EIDR registration is useful for both nationally and locally distributed content; for digital-first as well as broadcast or streaming content.)
