CSPro e-learning course

Post by CathyGarlick »

The next run of our CSPro e-learning course is scheduled to start on 23 February 2015. This 5-week course covers the following 10 topics:

Topic 1: Data structures and data types
Topic 2: The Data Dictionary
Topic 3: Data entry screens
Topic 4: Logic programming for automatic skips and checks
Topic 5: Data entry options
Topic 6: CSPro files
Topic 7: Data validation
Topic 8: Dealing with dates
Topic 9: Frequency tables
Topic 10: Exporting data

This is an introductory course aimed at researchers, demographers, data managers and others who are considering using CSPro to implement survey data management systems. No previous experience of CSPro is required but participants are assumed to be comfortable with Windows based software. Participants should install CSPro prior to the course.

The course is very practical consisting of demonstrations, interactive videos, practical exercises and online tests. A forum will be available for peer-to-peer and weekly student-to-tutor interaction to encourage learning and share problems and solutions. There will be 10 topics and participants would generally be expected to work through two topics each week on average. Time needed to work through each topic will vary by participant and by topic but we would anticipate 3 to 4 hours per topic on average. Participants who have not followed one of our e-learning courses before should first follow our short (2 hour) orientation to familiarise themselves with the e-learning environment.

The cost fee is £325 per participant (about $492 at the current exchange rate)
