APATE Web Admin

APATE Web Interface overview Customized consent, instruction forms. Experimenter add/del participants Change passwords Permission (admin vs. experimenter)

APATE

Experimenter add/del participants The experimenter adds participants by typing the participant’s name, address, and the course the participant is in Can enter multiple participants at once Remove participants through a checkbox interface

APATE Permissions (Admin & Experimenter) Admin can create experimenters Experimenters can allow other experimenters to work on their experiments Permissions will be refined to be more fine grain for 3 rd iteration

APATE Display Experiment Data Simple XML output of data Proof of concept of communication between website and plugin Will have finalized data output for next iteration

APATE Looking Forward GAIM –Keystroke logging Data Daemon –Refine XML schema –Refine web data display –Export data in XML & csv format Web Admin –Export/Import Participants (to Excel) –Reminder (initial, everyday, final) –Customize the quiz
