Going Crazy with Globalpark


Speaker


Abstract

If you are doing survey research globalpark can be an amazing tool. It is super flexible and a little fantasy will allow you to adapt it to almost any need. At the same time, sometimes the would-be-simplest things seem amazingly user-unfriendly – until you discover that tiny little paragraph in the 800-page manual. Having built up some experience over the past few months, I will share some tips and tricks in the seminar that will both make your globalpark-life harder (if you want to) and easier. Harder: I will give you a little introduction on how to work with user-defined questions and pages. There can be many reasons for doing that – for example to make the survey more user-friendly or pretty. I will show you some examples of why and how I used them for creating a social network survey. Easier: I will share some tricks and functions with you that would have saved me many many hours of silly work had I known about them from the start. And ultimately, this will be a good opportunity to exchange your tricks and workarounds that keep you from going crazy with globalpark!
