Data Collection
What do you need to do?What are these?
A series of short videos and resources that will help you think about the informed consent process and use some of the EvalFest instruments. These videos were created with National Science Foundation funding, #1423004.
How should you use them?
- To orient yourself to best practices in data collection.
- To understand informed consent and why it’s important.
- As a primer for training staff or field researchers to collect data in the field.
How should you NOT use them?
- As comprehensive training for staff or field researchers – we recommend starting with these and then doing a just-in-time and in-person training that expands on the video content and occurs just prior to collecting data.
