Integrating Qualtrics with Volunteer Science
Date: May 6th, 2021
Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm EST
Do you use Qualtrics surveys in your research? Do you want to know how to supercharge them with Volunteer Science's features?
In this hourlong workshop, we will show you the ins and outs of linking studies in Volunteer Science with surveys in Qualtrics. You will learn how to post Qualtrics surveys on Volunteer Science and embed them in other experiments. You will also learn how to embed Volunteer Science experiments within Qualtrics surveys and how to pass data between the two.
This workshop will be recorded for attendees to come back to it for reference and inspiration.

Working with Social Media Data on Volunteer Science
Date: June 3rd, 2021
Time: 12:00pm-1:00pm EST
Do you want to study social media or collect social media data as part of your research?
In this workshop, we'll teach you how using Twitter data as an example. You will learn how to collect Twitter data from participants, have participants view Twitter data as part of a study, and collect data on how people react to Twitter data. While this workshop focuses on Twitter data, the same tools can be used on other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

Live Science!
If you love research, data, and science, you do not want to miss this!
Participate in science and join us in playing a "Collective Problem Solving" experiment. We will then analyze and
share the results.
Special Speaker: Dr. David Lazer. Distinguished Professor of Political Science and Computer and Information Science,
Northeastern University, and Co-Director, NULab for Texts, Maps, and Networks. Prior to coming to Northeastern
University, Dr. Lazer was on the faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School. He has been published in numerous journals
and is lead author of the paper in Science in 2014 that critiqued Google Flu Trends, which has emerged as a
foundational piece in the use of big data to understand human behavior.
Harvard: Build Your Own Online Lab with Volunteer Science
We will be offering a training workshop on using Volunteer Science to
create online studies on Friday, April 21st from 1-4pm at Harvard University
in CGIS South S010 Tsai Auditorium. This workshop will demonstrate how online
studies are conducted, demo the Volunteer Science system, and provide hands-on
guidance to help researchers get studies up and working. Please
register
so we can keep a headcount and provide enough support services.
Volunteer Science is a platform for creating online studies and recruiting
participants. The training workshops will feature a review of approaches to
online research with human subjects, including serious games, lab experiments,
and citizen science. This overview will be followed by guided walkthroughs of
how to set up both a survey-based study and a game-based study. You will receive
access to a research team where you can add any number of collaborators, create
any number of experiments, and recruit any number of subjects.
