May 6, 2021 @ 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM Qualtrics Fundamentals Online via Zoom Qualtrics is a powerful online tool available to Berkeley community members that can be used for a range of data collection activities. Primarily, Qualtrics is designed to make web surveys easy to write, test, and implement, but the software can be used for data entry, training, quality control, evaluation, market research, pre/post-event feedback, and other uses with some creativity. This overview will introduce a simple workflow using the system with an orientation to the main interfaces for web survey design, sample management, corresponding with sample members, and exporting data at the end of the field period. Examples from completed surveys in public health, economics, program evaluation, and other disciplines will be incorporated in the overview. This workshop will introduce students to the basics of designing a survey instrument using the Qualtrics platform, such as randomization and survey flow. We will also cover more advanced topics like implementing embedded data and using javascript, as well as tips and tricks on how to use your design to maximize the number of quality responses you get.
May 6, 2021 @ 12:00 PM - 1:15 PM Moving from Red to Green: Ally in bCourses Online via Zoom Ever wonder about the red indicators next to your bCourses files? The Ally tool provides instructors with visual indicators (students do not see the indicators) gauging the accessibility of files and assigns an accessibility score. Attend this workshop to learn how to improve the accessibility of your bCourses files so students using assistive technologies can better access content. For an overview of this tool visit https://youtu.be/k5hg0Qm_4Ms(link is external). In addition to providing accessibility indicators, the Ally tool also converts files to HTML, EPUB, electronic braille, MP3 (audio), and over 30 translated languages. This supports students with disabilities, English language learners, and students who prefer to engage with learning materials on mobile devices. If you cannot attend this workshop but have further questions, please contact [email protected](link sends e-mail). Log in via CalNet to register for Moving from Red to Green: Ally in bCourses (5/6). Registration closes on May 5, 2021 - 5:00pm.
