Longitudinal Trials with REDCap at ACU Online

Why do this course?

REDCap is a powerful and extensible application for managing and running longitudinal data collection activities. With powerful features such as organising data collections instruments into predefined events, you can shepherd your participants through a complex survey at various time points with very little configuration.

This course will introduce some of REDCap's more advanced features for running longitudinal studies, and builds on the foundational material taught in REDCAP101 – Managing Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap.

Learning Outcomes:

• Build a longitudinal project 
• Manage participants throughout multiple events
• Configure and use Automated Survey Invitations
• Use Smart Variables to add powerful features to your logic
• Take advantage of high-granularity permissions for your collaborators
• Understand the data structure of a longitudinal project

Prerequisites

This course requires the participant to have a fairly good basic knowledge of REDCap. To come up to speed, consider taking our course REDCAP101 – Managing Data Capture and Surveys with REDCap.

The Intersect approach to training

At Intersect, we work closely with our member universities to develop and deliver training that targets the day-to-day software and technology problems that researchers face. We deliver hands-on courses in a relaxed setting with knowledgeable, helpful trainers who are themselves researchers and who know how researchers work.
