Task 2

For Task 2, your complete the final project, which consists of a consent form, an online survey with embedded images or videos, and a thank you page.

I. Consent form

The URL of the consent form is http://research.adv.msu.edu/cas892/girdwoo1.asp

Please note the consent form ends with .asp because the form is embedded with two fields–the e-mail of the respondent and the last four digits of the respondent’s ID. The field values (what the respondent keys into the fields) will be passed along using query strings and saved into your final survey.

II. The Final Survey

The final survey is what you will develop for the final project. It should consist of meaningful questions that can be used to test the hypotheses or to answer the research questions of your study, as you proposed for M1 Task #1.

You should create a new survey for this project. Before you add any questions to the new survey, you must first add two “hidden fields” for it to work with the consent form.

Please add the hidden fields before anything else is added to the survey:

1. Click on “Adding a new question” and choose “Hidden field” and click on “Add Question” button. Type wsb0 (0 is zero, not o as in “old”) in Field Name and leave “Default Value” blank and click “Apply” to complete the question.
2. Repeat Step 1 to create another hidden variable and name it wsb1 (1 is like 123, not l as in “live”). The field name must be exactly the same as given for your survey to work properly. Leave “Default Value” blank. These hidden variables will not be visible to survey takers.
3. Click on “Build/Edit” and you should see these two hidden variables on the very top of the survey, with the same corresponding ids “wsb0″ and “wsb1″ on the right side of the screen.

After you are done with these two hidden fields, you may add questions of your choice for the survey, including some demographic questions.

The survey should be well designed and have necessary elements (a title, introduction, etc.), include at least one image or video clip, have a good look and feel, and function properly. Please use “fs” (final survey) as the file name of the survey when you publish it. Any other file name will not work with the consent form.

Your final survey should represent your best skill and effort so you should polish it to perfection. When you are happy with it, you should re-publish it and check on “Remove your survey responses you may have already received.” This way, all previous testing data will be wiped out and you are ready for official data collection.

III. Thank You page

A thank you page has been created for you to use, and it is the same for all students in the class. It should be linked from your final survey so that, upon submission of the survey, the respondent will see a customized thank you page. They can print out the thank you page as proof of participation for extra credit, if applicable.

To link your survey to the thank you page, please do the following:

1. In WebSurveyor account, click on “Build/Edit” and then “Details” to get the Survey Details page.
2. Copy “http://research.adv.msu.edu/cas892/thankyou.asp?email=<!–WSBR0–>&pid=<!–WSBR1–>” (exclude quotation marks) and paste it into the field “Send Users to the following web page when they have completed the survey.”
3. Then, click on “Advanced”, copy “SKIPSUBMITTEMPLATE=1″ and paste it into the text box. Click on “Apply” to save the change.
4. Publish the survey.
5. Test the final project starting from the consent form all the way to the thank you page. If you can get a thank you page with the e-mail and four digits you have entered into the consent form, then everything is correct. If you do not get the thank you page, something must be wrong, so you need to check back step by step and make necessary corrections.

Then, copy and paste the URL of your consent form to M5 Task 2 Discussion Forum, by midnight of June 18 (40 points).

Task 3

For Task 3, you need to get some real data and then post the URL of your survey results to M5 Task 3 Discussion Forum. Below are the steps for this task.

1. Ask 3-5 friends of yours or your peers in this class to answer your survey so that you can get real data.
2. In WebSurveyor account, click “Analyze” and “Update Results”. You will see the number of cases that are updated. You may select a question to see a chart.
3. Click on “Public Report” on the left side of the screen and you will see a URL.
4. Check on “Allow Public Report” and “Automatically Update Results”. Leave the “Password” field blank.
5. Click on the link to see what your results look like in charts.
6. Back to the Public Report page and copy and paste the Public Results URL into M5 Task #3 Discussion Forum, by midnight of June 18 (10 points)
