Project 1: Onboarding Date Type //date to populate Priorities, Tasks, & Assignments 🥼 Type in “/ action item” to create a to-do list or “/ numbered list” to start listing. To add a due date, add due by // date. Notes, Progress, or Issues 📔 Type “/ success panel” to highlight a point or type in notes; ensure you take detailed notes so that it’s clear what you have worked on. This is not meant to be a brief summary, this is meant to be a place to document what you worked on in detail so you can return to it easily and pick-up where you left off, it also is meant to aid your supervisors in providing feedback and assistance and to know what you have worked on! Clearly provide names of files you have worked on, stating “Redcap” is not sufficient for example, because we have several Redcaps and projects within Redcap. Screen captures can also be added here.

Asked Karinne to check and give me feedback before I multiply these instruments Based on Karinne’s feedback, combined Participant Topic List with mVISTA In-Session Input S1, added feedback (correct/incorrect) for sentence and foils, minimized the number of images to be uploaded, added cue card upload field, and tested by entering images and sentences to the Input page and checking that the correct images/sentences are shown in the In-Session survey Asked Karinne to check again Met with Karinne to learn about how to make edits in REDCap and how edits are tracked in Teams R61 - some instruments are duplicated for English/Spanish When using the Data Dictionary to make edits, upload the unedited dictionary to Box as backup Save Data Dictionary as xlsx file to create multiple tabs “before edit” tab: original data; highlight the rows that need to be edited “edits” tab: copy over the rows that need to be edited from “before edit” “to upload” tab: the final edited version Tested to make sure the images uploaded in Input is displaying in an appropriate size and resolution in In-Session Checked for duplicate variable names between mVISTA and R61 main project Edited the “Read each sentence out lout” page of the In-Session instrument (added some space between the sentences and made the font larger) to increase legibility
