Webinar aims
Society and technology change constantly. Efficient data collection methods have to adapt to these changes. Mixed mode surveys with an online component included offer many advantages, but also challenges. One of the challenges is the use of mixed-devices (smartphone, tablet) to complete an online questionnaire. The aim of this course is to provide the participants with a sound background on mixed-mode and mixed-device methodology, as well as on the implications of mixing modes on questionnaire design and total survey error.
Webinar learning outcomes
By the end of the course participants will
-
Be familiar with the current scientific discourse on mixed-mode and mixed-device surveys
-
Know the advantages and disadvantages of different modes and mixes
-
Be able to make an informed judgment about mixed-mode or mixed-device surveys
-
Be able to make an informed judgement on mixed-mode and mixed device surveys for their own research
-
Properly address design and analysis of mixed mode and mixed device surveys
