Description:
Paradata are the data automatically generated when respondents answer Web surveys. There are many different kinds of Web survey paradata, including email tracking tools, user agent strings (to identify devices used), and server-side and client-side paradata providing information on things like response times, mouse-clicks, scrolling behaviour, and so on. This course will provide participants with an overview of the different types of Web paradata, and how they can be collected, managed, and analysed to provide useful information on data quality and nonresponse in Web surveys, leading to design improvements.
The course covers:
- Different types of Web paradata and their uses
- Capturing paradata in Web surveys
- Processing Web survey paradata
- Analysing paradata
By the end of the course participants will:
- Understand the varieties and uses of paradata in Web surveys
- Have the knowledge or tools to collect, process, and analyse paradata
- Understand how to extract meaning from paradata
