  Learn how to represent data using sound. Data is often represented visually, in charts, graphs, tables, and maps. Sound can also be used to support scholarly work and to tell data stories. In this 1-hour webinar, learn the basics of data sonification (what it is, general considerations/practices, and tools) and practice illustrating data with sound using the free, web based app TwoTone.

  This presentation's format will be a tutorial on a tool. Registration will open on March 27, and the webinar is scheduled to be recorded. RDAP webinar recordings are available to RDAP members through the RDAP Hub.

  Since our initial brainstorming session, the Strategic Planning Team has worked to synthesize your ideas into a roadmap for 2027–2030/2032. Now, we need your feedback. Join us for a Town Hall to review the draft strategic plan. We’ll walk through the proposed core goals and host focused feedback sessions to ensure our goals and objectives are ambitious, achievable, and aligned with your needs.

  If you are not able to attend the town hall, we would welcome your feedback through this draft strategic plan feedback form. We will be closing the form on May 4, 2026.

  Please contact Tess Grynoch, RDAP Past-President and Strategic Planning Team Co-Chair, with any questions at past-pres@rdapassociation.org.
