Hi Anasuya, Thanks for this announcement. It will be interesting to see what we learn from this round.
I have a few questions. * People may feel more comfortable with providing reports in languages that are familiar to them. Are responses allowed in languages other than English? * The "Start Date" and "End Date" fields allow free-form text. Will that create any difficulties for the people who compile and analyze the information from these reports? * What is the definition of "quality content"? * The statement "Please upload your txt or csv file of your participant usernames." raises an interesting privacy question. Should program leaders be uploading those usernames if consent forms were not obtained? Also, do different standards apply if, at the end of the Qualtrics report, the program leader who is completing the survey selects the option to allow all data from the survey form to be public? * I am confused by the question that ends with the report. It starts with the statement that "Although we will not share reporting data in an identifiable way..." and then proceeds to ask if the person completing the report will allow WMF to "share the name of my program along with my reported data so that people can see how we did". Can you clarify this situation?
