This has come a very round about way to me. I have not tried to get in personally but it may be a resource that is useful to members of the community here. Jean ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Peter Watson <[log in to unmask]> Date: 25 February 2015 at 12:53 Subject: SPSS Education portal - free youtube videos of how to use SPSS module To: May be of use to anyone wanting further insights into stats modules within SPSS: SPSS/IBM have put youtube videos illustrating the use of all their procedures on-line for free and are keen to spread the word on this so am circulating to members! We can feedback suggestions for improvements as well either on-line or to Irene whose SPSS breakfast offer I e-mailed earlier (Irene’s details are as below). Details are as below – we have to register (for free) at http:// www.presidion.com/academic-portal which worked OK for me. For full access though we need to prove we are ‘lecturers’. There was a video on clustering and multiple imputation there, for example, I used as a ‘student’ member. All best Peter From [log in to unmask] Regarding the Academic Portal: We’ve added your domain to the whitelist in the portal so you can register now. I think Cambridge university has so many domains for email addresses that they couldn’t provide us a list so we’re adding them by request. If you are going to send it to some people please provide us with the email domains so we can allow them to register. You just need to: 1. Go to www.presidion.com/academic-portal and click “Not a member? Register” 2. Fill out the registration form 3. You will receive an email to verify your email address. 4. Once you’re verified your email address you’ll be able to access as a student – Student access is provided automatically to all registrations, if someone is a lecture we need some kind of proof (link to a web page with that information, some documentation from the college, email from head of department, etc. just something to make sure no students get lecture access. The difference between both access level is only one tab for lecture content where we provide information only for lectures. Does it make sense? 5. We can then change your access level to lecture and you’ll have access to the full site. Regarding the domains, we have contacted a few times all the main organisers –academics that are our customers asking them to provide us the email domains. We have quite a bit list but still missing some – like the Cambridge ones, so we add them by request – if your domain is not in the white list you’ll get an error in the registration form saying to contact us if there is any issue. We created this to help lectures and students beginners to SPSS so I think it could be considered Education Tips J I’ve cc’d my colleague Sara Carr ([log in to unmask]), she is the person managing all academic support and academic portal so if you need to talk about email domains or anything else related to academics she’s your person. Any feedback you can provide – though the feedback forms in the site or by email – would be really appreciated. We want to include more useful content and keep improving the portal with ideas and suggestions from the users, so please feel free to send us your thoughts. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Watson MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit 15 Chaucer Road Cambridge CB2 7EF Direct line: +44 (0)1223 273712 Line (via reception): +44 (0)1223 355294 x801 Fax: +44 (0)1223 359062
