Course Overview

A fun and practical course for anyone working with open-ended (OE) questions. Students who complete this course are able to tackle OE data from start to finish.

Open-ended questions are a great tool for researchers. And while the unstructured data they yield have great benefits, there are also some big challenges. To get the most out of OE questions, the professional researcher must carefully construct questions, code (analyze), and report the data. In this course, students will learn manual and automated options, and a 6-step process to ensure adherence to best practices.

Upon course completion, you will be able to:

  • Explain the applications and benefits of Open-Ended Questions
  • Construct great Open-Ended Questions
  • Create codebooks, code data, and prepare for Data Analysis
  • Report Open-Ended Data
  • Evaluate automated options (Demo Included)

As a student, you get lots of helpful videos, readings and reference material.
