Surveys02:16

Surveys

17.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Survey Safety01:28

Survey Safety

477
Surveying near highways, rough terrain, or power lines involves significant risks. Working along highways is particularly dangerous and requires the use of warning signs and flagmen. It is safest to avoid working directly on roads and use offsets whenever possible. When highway work is unavoidable, it must follow all safety guidelines. Surveyors should wear bright clothing, such as orange reflective vests, to ensure visibility to motorists, coworkers, and hunters. In construction zones, wearing...

Censoring Survival Data01:09

Censoring Survival Data

654
Survival analysis is a statistical method used to analyze time-to-event data, often employed in fields such as medicine, engineering, and social sciences. One of the key challenges in survival analysis is dealing with incomplete data, a phenomenon known as "censoring." Censoring occurs when the event of interest (such as death, relapse, or system failure) has not occurred for some individuals by the end of the study period or is otherwise unobservable, and it might have many different...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

39.9K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

  • To identify legal uncertainties and provide guidance for universities.

Main Methods:

  • In-depth analysis of the MOOC phenomenon and relevant privacy laws.
  • Case studies of three major MOOC providers.
  • Development of organizational questions for university MOOC teams.

Main Results:

  • MOOCs present unique challenges to privacy laws designed for traditional educational institutions.
  • Significant inconsistencies exist among MOOC platforms regarding privacy.
  • A notable level of legal uncertainty surrounds data privacy in university-led MOOCs.

Conclusions:

  • Universities must address the unique privacy challenges posed by MOOCs.
  • Clarifying the regulatory status of MOOC users and platforms is crucial.
  • Proactive internal assessment is necessary to navigate MOOC privacy uncertainties.
