This is a selection of some of the training courses or workshops I have run in the past decade, mainly dealing with methods in language documentation, including software tools for transcription, annotation and creation of texts and dictionaries. I organise training in linguistic data management, archiving, and current tools (Elan, FLEx, and regular expressions) once or twice each year.
