ArcGIS Online is a simple cloud-based utility for producing, editing, and sharing geospatial data. ArcGIS Online is meant to act as a Web-based mapping solution for everyone from GIS professionals to those with no formal GIS training. This workshop will give an overview of ArcGIS Online features. Researchers will learn how to: Upload and manipulate data; map points, lines, and areas; enrich map layers with data; embed maps in Web sites; and share maps in a multitude of ways.

This workshop will introduce you to the basics of geographic information system (GIS) mapping using ESRI’s ArcGIS Online platform. In this session, you will learn how to use the ArcGIS online system, to create a series of maps. After creating the maps, you can then export your maps to ESRI’s Story Maps, which will allow you to create stable link to a mixed media mapping project that you can use for research, teaching, and job portfolio purposes.

NVivo is a qualitative data analysis tool designed to help researchers organize and analyze a range of data types, including documents, survey responses, audio and video files, images, and social media content, all within one platform. This two-hour workshop will focus specifically on preparing and analyzing interview and survey data in NVivo.

Throughout this workshop, participants will:

• Prepare interview and survey data for import.
• Create cases and add classifying information to keep data organized and accessible.
• Link transcribed interview data to corresponding audio or video files.
• Use various query options—such as word frequency, text search, and coding comparison—to identify core themes.
• Systematically code data to capture core themes.

By the end of the workshop, users will be equipped with practical strategies to streamline interview and survey analysis within NVivo.

Multilevel regression models are models in which the experimental units are nested within larger groupings such as students within classrooms or workers within factories. Both the individual experimental unit (student) and the higher level grouping variable (classroom) can contribute unique variance to the variables in the regression and the relationship between them. The workshop will work through a simple two-level model using two popular statistical packages, the SAS 'Proc Mixed' procedure and the Mplus 'Two-level Random' analysis.

NVivo is a qualitative data-analysis package used to organize and analyze resources used in qualitative research. NVivo allows researchers to analyze documents, electronic web surveys, audio and video files, images, database tables, web pages, and social media content in one platform. This workshop will provide an overview of the software. The interface and features are demonstrated, along with examples of research projects utilizing the software. Participants will import and organize data in NVivo, add research notes and annotations, and code qualitative data in a variety of ways. Participants will also understand the potential of NVivo as a tool for organizing, questioning, visualizing, and reporting qualitative research data. It takes approximately 6 hours to complete this workshop.

In this introductory workshop, you will learn how to create and deploy a web-based survey using Qualtrics. Basic question construction (single and multiple response questions, grid/matrix tables for Likert questions, text questions) will be covered, as well as how to add Display and Skip Logic, which allows the respondent to skip questions that do not pertain to them, thereby shortening their response time. An overview of the reporting tools, how to export data as an SPSS dataset and an overview of best practices for collecting online data will also be presented.
