Description: formr.org is a free open-source software framework for online studies. Because formr tightly integrates with the R programming language, researchers can design custom, complex studies with ease. Key features include automated reminders for repeated surveys on computers and smartphones and the generation of personalised graphical feedback. Single surveys can be collaboratively edited in shared spreadsheets; complex designs are implemented using sequences of simple components. The framework makes the entire study design easily reproducible. You will learn workflows for collaboratively designing, testing, debugging, managing, and documenting experience sampling studies. We will touch on several advanced features, including planned missingness, event-driven schedules based on external data sources, and feedback. We will discuss different technical methods of contacting participants and ways to mitigate potentially thorny issues around privacy and anonymity.
