Dear colleague,
The National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) is organising survey design courses that may be of interest to the list subscribers. Please find below details of three upcoming survey design courses:
COURSE: Mixed-mode survey design and implementation
Date and location: 23-25 March 2015, London
Presenters: Mick Couper (Survey Research Center, University of Michigan) and Annetter Jackle (ISER, University of Essex)
Fee: £90
Further info and registration: http://go.soton.ac.uk/693
This course focuses on the design and deployment of mixed-mode surveys (e.g., combining Web surveys with postal or interviewer-administered surveys, or telephone and face-to-face surveys). The course provides an overview of the different approaches to mixed-mode survey design, presents a summary of what is known and not known about mixing survey modes, and offers a set of guidelines to help researchers make decisions about mixing modes of data collection, design survey instruments for mixed-mode surveys, and analyse data from mixed-mode surveys.

COURSE: Designing and Implementing Mobile Web Surveys
Date and location: 16 April 2015, Cardiff
Presenter: Mick Couper (Survey Research Center, University of Michigan)
Fees: £30 for UK registered students; £60 for staff at UK academic institutions, UK Research Councils researchers, UK public sector staff and staff at UK registered charity organisations and recognised UK research institutions; £220 for all other participants.

Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) are increasingly being used by respondents to complete Web surveys. This presents a number of design challenges for survey researchers. Smartphones also offer a number of added possibilities for survey designers, such as the use of GPS to track movement, apps to trigger measurement at set times (ecological momentary assessment), the possibility of capturing images, and other features. This course will focus on the design implications of the rise on mobile device use. The research evidence will be reviewed, and the various options for accommodating mobile Web users will be discussed. The challenges of using the enhanced features of mobile phones for general population surveys will also be reviewed. The course is focused on situations where respondents are using their own devices, i.e., the designer has little control over the device used.

COURSE: Questionnaire Design and Implementation for Web Surveys
Date and location: 29-30 April 2015, Belfast
Presenter: Pamela Campanelli (Survey Methods Consultant, UK Chartered Statistician, Chartered Scientist)
Fees: £60 for UK registered students; £120 for staff at UK academic institutions, UK Research Councils researchers, UK public sector staff and staff at UK registered charity organisations and recognised UK research institutions; £440 for all other participants.

This course is about questionnaire design as it relates specifically to web surveys. This course explores the pitfalls and good practice in writing individual web questions and the questionnaire as a whole. In addition this course looks at wider implementation issues around the questionnaire (e.g., types of invitations to potential respondents, how these should be worded, how and when they should be sent, reminders, incentives, software, etc.)
