Share via
REDCap is a secure and stable web-based platform that is designed to capture research data; this is an introductory session for new users.
This half‐day interactive workshop provides hands-on instructions in the development of a simple data management system and online surveys. This course is suitable for researchers setting up a new clinical trial/survey, or who are seeking robust data acquisition, safe storage and data archiving with the ability to interrogate the database.
REDCap I is an introductory course that assumes no prior experience with the software. The session covers:
* Setting up a REDCap project
* Creating instruments and adding fields of various kinds
* Basic skips AKA branching logic
* Enabling an instrument as a survey
* User management
* Exporting your project data
This course is provided through collaboration with CEBU (Murdoch Children's Research Institute and University of Melbourne Department of Paediatrics) and facilitated by CEBU Data Management Coordinator Luke Stevens. The University of Melbourne's REDCap Lead is David Ormiston-Smith(red-cap@unimelb.edu.au).
