1Password

I have been added into 1Password.
I was not able to log in because my account needs to be recovered and there's a current error going on so the application told me to try again tomorrow.

Smartsheet

REDCap (only if on the RedCap team)

I have logged into REDCap.

Google Cander: I inserted all of my scheduled dates for the rest of the semester

PowerPoint Presentation: Where is the Global Task Status Training Sheet ?

Lab Notebook reminders/notes:

A specific task indicating which project (VISTA, WAB, Connected Speech, etc)

Patient Codes if applicable

Due dates (by when is this due, or by when do you anticipate finishing)

People involved (who are you turning this in to, is anyone helping you?)

Headshots & Paragraph: I uploaded my headshot & paragraph and also chatted Diana on Teams to let her know about it.

Lab assignments:

we only clip audios and in specific cases we clip videos To clip m4a zoom files, please download the FFmpeg before clipping a m4a file audio so it works, Download the correct FFmpeg version for your system: Audacity FFmpeg installer page: https://support.audacityteam.org/basics/installing-ffmpeg After installing, restart Audacity. Clipping and reclipping should always be completed in the lab. always prioritize clipping Pre, Post, and Follow-up sessions. Mid-treatment sessions should be clipped only if specified for a research need or if all other samples are clipped. Wear headphones when clipping audios (e.g. Bluetooth headphones, wired headphones) Start clipping exactly when the participant begins speaking. Stop immediately after the participant finishes. Do not include extra silence before or after, as this affects acoustic measures (e.g., words per minute, pause duration).

materials training with Jimena

Successes

was able to log into 1Password and be added to the team vault
Got granted access to the material training folder
started on the video: “Course Overview + Introduction to the Shell”

 

What is shell - if a button has not been programmed to do a such thing we have to manually input it. MacOS: Press Cmd + Space to open Spotlight, type “Terminal”, and press Enter. Or find it in Applications → Utilities → Terminal Why care: much faster than just clicking around; only uses few key strokes. the prompt is the main interface you have to your shell and tells you personal information $ tells you, you are not admin user. arguments: Things that follow the program name in the command. disregarding white spaces.

Questions:

moving my Wednesday time from 9am - 11:30m to 8:45am - 11:15am. There wont be anyone at desk #3 during that time so everything should be good!

Difficulties:

Next time:

finish up videos and practice the coding.
ask about get hub

to-do

reviewing the training videos Jimena put in my box folder
reviewing the wiki page over the clipping process.
read whisper training material (Estrella chatted about)
APIs will help create the homework two required input files you will need from clinician ( Hoja de Datos) & All sets PowerPoint Hoja de Datos make sure label is correct each phase will be different languages, untrained sets cronograma: the place where you'll find patient status, dates, language order, and paste all the links to the final homework, and powerpoints sondeos: 3 the powerpoint that are for all the trained sets but in different order. material: powerpoint steps: On git hub you'll down load the lrt materials program go to code download zip open the file and put it in the document folder on terminal we can copy and paste commands from wiki also copy and paste Hoja de Datos just make sure language colums are clear. inside input folder, make another folder with the patients code. which will have the all sets powerpoint and the Hoja de datos just make sure: the labels are correct, the words are correct, and order of words matches the order of pictures, all sets ppt is only the code, and there is dividers between each code. make sure files are in the proper format instructions copy and paste the file name onto the coding page you wont be able to see your API code but just know it is there. the output should do it on its own wait for the output to finish go into qualitrics for the single group homework going to have to do some manual work. we need to change the pictures and audios go to HTML view to delete the audio/media/video go into rich content creator to delete the picture audios will be provided form clinician insession powerpoints: one per set probes - sondeos to verify absolutly everything: How to geneate the folow up homework: same folder but in section 5: option B gather up all files > tools > export > QSF files > create finalize QSF > another folder with same QSF but with all the audio and video. remember to always enter the program edit the code (inputting patient ID): important to took at the pateint type to see what code needs to be inputting. lrt output > homework > final follow up> from finalized (6 sets) *check for the “skip to” function at the bottom.
