Research Data Management
Clients look to CADE for reliable online evaluation/survey systems,
complex custom data entry tools and tools, and quality analysis and presentation of data. The Research Data Management
(RDM) group specializes in these services and consults with principal
investigators on how to optimize and enhance research plans, survey methods
and data analysis. We provide advanced online statistical analysis,
website creation, and result presentation to support research studies.
Our online data management services include SAS/IntrNet reporting for
use in data cleaning and preliminary statistical analyses, and administrative
databases to enhance data collection and provide real-time reporting. We
develop SAS/IntrNet pages with a client interface to permit online data
analysis, graphing and trend analysis.
CADE’s Survey Development Application generates user-friendly online
multiple choice, all that apply, tabular, and open-ended questions. Built-in
features include skip patterns and field entry validation.
In addition, hours of administrative labor have been saved with our quick, reliable,
secure course evaluation system. Instructors
and administrators create online evaluations that combine closed
and open-ended questions. The system automatically sends email reminders
(at administrator-determined frequencies) to those who still need
to complete the evaluation, thus ensuring a high response rate. Results
are available to administrators and instructors immediately at the
conclusion of the evaluation period. Instructors receive email notification
when the evaluations are available online. Special surveys can also be
programmed through the system and sent to select groups of students or
instructors.
