The Key Challenge in Behavioural ResearchQualtrics
In this webinar, Dr. Esther Tippmann will explain the Common Methods Bias - a well-documented phenomenon observed in research based on self-reported measures.
We often use surveys in which respondents are asked about their perceptions, feelings, attitudes or beliefs. Under certain circumstances such self-reported data can suffer from severe quality issues. It is the aim of this webinar to introduce some of these and discuss effective survey design remedies.
What paradata can tell you about the quality of web surveys?Qualtrics
Google’s Mario Callegaro explains how paradata works – the data that shows not just what your survey respondents said but how they answered the question, opening up new avenues for researchers to interrogate and analyse the survey data they receive.

Requirements Elicitation is a technical and analytical process, but it is also a highly social and potentially emotive activity. All but the smallest software developments can have a wider organisational impact and the potential to change people’s working lives in positive and negative ways. Users’ reactions to such changes are shaped by their own personal values, motivations and emotions. Exploring and understanding such information can help requirements analysts in:
■Developing a deep understanding of users’ long term goals, working practices, preferences and problems
■Making design decisions
■Building a rapport with users
■Anticipating user wants and needs
Sarah Thew has been exploring these ideas during her PhD, carrying out a series of interviews with novice and experienced analysts investigating if and how they consider users’ values, motivations and emotions. These interviews contributed to the development of a method to support analysts in considering and exploring values, motivations and emotions during the requirements elicitation process, which she is currently evaluating.
Big data, evidence-based, predictive analytics, today these terms are all over the place. Is this just another fad or an irreversible trend? An increasing group of HR leaders relies on science, critical thinking and data analyses to make decisions.
Evidence-based HR, however, is still perceived by many as too time-consuming, narrow or impractical. Meanwhile, evidence-based practice is becoming mainstream in many other disciplines (like medicine). This is the momentum for pioneering HR leaders to seize the opportunity and make a difference with evidence. As part of an inclusive approach, valuing different perspectives.
We will enter into the dialogue about the why, the what, and most of all the how of evidence-based HR. How to get started and how to blend it with softer, less tangible HR practices? A pragmatic introduction, with realistic ambitions and openness towards other approaches.
Can you measure if the content in your eLearning system provides an enriching and engaging experience for your learners? If you can't answer this important question, you're not alone. Organizations struggle to combine the complex activity of analyzing data to identify opportunities that can improve learner engagement with their content. It's worth it to find out. Courses and related resources that may not be as valuable as intended can result in decreased interest and attendance rates—leading to poor learning outcomes. There are many ways to measure and analyze course engagement data in your LMS. These insights enable managers to identify, prioritize change to learning programs and step up their engagement game.

NPS: Measure Customer Loyalty AND Drive Company Culture by Focusing on the Dy...Qualtrics
The majority of companies spend most of their time focusing on non-customers and dissatisfied customers. Most of the time the most valuable customers and employees are neglected. But what will happen when you start focussing on your superpromoters, the most enthusiastic customers and employees who spread their enthusiasm and infect others with it?
Rijn will show that companies who do this will change their companies culture. They become more customers centric and become more successful on every aspect of their business. This has major implications for marketing, market research and implementation of customer relation systems like NPS.
In this presentation, part of Multiplicity's ongoing speaker series about Launching and Growing: Your First 100 Customers, AskingCanadians Vice President Raj Manocha focuses on how insights can help companies better understand their customers and what’s important to them. The presentation highlights the role insights can play in innovation, cost effective ways for start-ups to collect insights and how research can make you a thought leader.
MIR Interview with Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia and AskingCanadians™
Is the social media hype about being cool or about making money?
For Adam Froman, the answer is easy: Marketers need to be very clear about how social media activity supports overall business strategy. Only if the digital experience fi ts into the whole customer journey will consumers become engaged and add value to the company … and only then will the social brand become cool.

WEBINAR: K12 - How to shape student experiencesQualtrics
Understanding the students whose experiences fuel your school’s purpose isn’t just a good idea – it’s absolutely essential to keep your students thriving.
It is no longer enough to simply track a grade or score as students now make decisions based on their experience. Student feedback gives you insight into what is going on and measuring this alongside what you already know about a student is giving parents, teachers and schools the ability to truly understand a students experience.
The digital age has propelled the feedback process to new heights, both in how a students response is given and received, and how teachers can utilise these discoveries. Where schools used to rely on annual surveys, verbal feedback sessions and paper comment cards to gauge student engagement, digital technology can now help to implement a more omnipresent feedback strategy that not only delivers almost immediate results, but aggregates those results into crucial analytics.
Catastrophic failures, single-mindedly focusing on happy customers and relying solely on your marketing team will not move the dial on customer experience. Luke Williams, head of Customer Experience at Qualtrics and author of The Wallet Allocation Rule, will reveal the three CX myths that can kill your brand.
Join Luke to learn about the real drivers of CX success. He’ll show you how not to fall into common traps and where best to focus your CX efforts for maximum return.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

THE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE
10. 7 PRINCIPLES FOR USING DATA IN SCHOOLS
Drawn from our work with over 1,750 schools internationally
since the early 1980s
11. 1. Mission alignment
Understand your purpose and concentrate your activity on this goal; don’t
spread your resources too widely.
7 PRINCIPLES FOR USING DATA IN SCHOOLS
12. 7 PRINCIPLES FOR USING DATA IN SCHOOLS
2. Open inquiry
Ask good, open-ended questions; don’t expect a particular outcome
13. 3. Measure what you do
Beware substituting a feeling or perception about a successfully run event or
program for real data about long-term impact on practice and performance – most
schools never measure the impact of PL, especially on teacher capability and

7 PRINCIPLES FOR USING DATA IN SCHOOLS
16. 6. Balanced judgment
Temper data with intuition..
Educators must be experts in the evaluation of data.
John Hattie, Visible Learning, 2009
Systems 1 Thinking (thinking that is fast, intuitive, often unconscious, relying on past association of
ideas) complements Systems 2 Thinking (thinking that is slow, conscious, reasoned, full of effort
and ultimately often lazy) – Systems 1 Thinking is the hero because it of its high correlation with
the truth.
Daniel Kahnemann, Thinking Fast and Slow, 2012
11% of decisions made by marketing professionals are based on data; 16% of decisions are made
based on too much data.

17. 7. Collaborative improvement
Use the findings to help engage all members of the community to construct better
outcomes for more learners

What might this look like in your school?
What should this feel like in your school?
USING DATA IN YOUR SCHOOL
19. Your school’s data culture:
Add up your scores and divide by 7. How did you rate
yourself?
What’s working well? What needs attention?
How do I rate my school
in each of these?
1= Below expectation
2 = Meets expectation
3 = Above expectation

2. Open inquiry
3. Dynamic explication and experimentation
4. Wise measurement
5. Contextualised interpretation
6. Balanced judgment
7. Collaborative improvement
USING DATA IN YOUR SCHOOL
20. 1. Mission alignment: Understand your purpose and concentrate your activity on this goal; don’t spread your
resources too widely.
2. Open inquiry: Ask good questions; don’t expect a particular outcome.
3. Dynamic explication and experimentation: Define your processes, test and iterate; don’t lock things down too
soon.
4. Wise measurement: Use grand school averages and value-added models; avoid benchmarks where possible.
5. Contextualised interpretation: Analyse data by finding patterns that tell the real story; don’t let data speak for
itself.
6. Balanced judgment: Temper data with intuition.
7. Collaborative improvement: Use the findings to help engage all members of the community to construct better
outcomes for more learners.
One thing:
• You know more about
• You feel more confident about
• You might use at your school tomorrow
• You might think about carefully for a long time before using at your school

7 PRINCIPLES FOR USING DATA IN SCHOOLS
24. Reliability refers to the extent to which our measurement process provides consistent and
repeatable results.
– Internal consistency (high inter-item correlation for measures of the same construct)
– Temporal stability (test-retest reliability)
DATA QUALITY: RELIABILITY
25. Validity refers to the extent to which our measurement process is measuring what we intend to
be measuring.
– Content validity – how well does your sample of response options reflect the domain of
possible responses to the question?
– Criterion-related validity (aka “predictive” or “concurrent” validity) – what is the strength
of the empirical relationship between question and criterion (“gold standard”)?
– Construct validity – how closely does the measure “behave” like it should
based on established measures or the theory of the underlying construct
– Face validity – what does the question look like it’s measuring?
DATA QUALITY: VALIDITY
26. So what is going on in a parent or student’s
head when they take a survey?
27. 1. Understand intent of question.
What is meant by the question, as it may differ from the literal interpretation of the words
COGNITIVE STEPS IN PROVIDING AN ANSWER
28. 1. Understand intent of question.
What is meant by the question, as it may differ from the literal interpretation of the words
2. Search memory for information.
Identifying relevant information stored in memory

Optimising!
32. Do you really expect parent and students to
optimise for every question?
33. Shortcutting the optimal response process:
Weak Satisficing: Incomplete or biased memory search and/or information
integration
Strong Satisficing: Skipping memory search and/or information integration
altogether and cueing off the question or context for plausible answers
SATISFICING
34. Task difficulty
– Interpretation (e.g., number of words, familiarity of words, multiple
definitions)
– Retrieval (e.g., current vs. past state, single vs. multiple objects or
dimensions)
– Judgment (e.g., absolute vs. comparative)
– Response selection (e.g., verbal vs. numeric scale labels, familiarity of
words, multiple definitions of words)
CAUSES OF SATISFICING
36. Task difficulty
Respondent ability
Respondent motivation
– Need for cognition
– Accountability
– Personal importance of the topic
– Belief about survey’s importance
– Number of prior questions
CAUSES OF SATISFICING
37. • Selecting the first reasonable response
– Order of response options can affect answers
“How awesome is Qualtrics?”
» Extremely awesome
» Very awesome
» Somewhat awesome
» Slightly awesome
» Not at all awesome
– Visual presentation = primacy (the first reasonable response seen)
– Tip: Randomize the direction of the response scale whenever
possible
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
38. • Selecting the first reasonable response
• Agreeing with assertions
– Acquiescence bias
• You may know people that run into this every time they order at
Starbucks…

“Is that with soymilk?”
“Yes”
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
40. • Selecting the first reasonable response
• Agreeing with assertions
– Acquiescence bias
• Agree-Disagree (Likert) scales
• True/False
• Yes/No
– Generally avoid any form of these response scales

“Is that with regular or soy milk?”
“…yes?”
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
43. • Selecting the first reasonable response
• Agreeing with assertions
• Straightlining
• Worst in matrix/grid question types
• Tip: Avoid any use of matrix or grid
questions
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
44. • Selecting the first reasonable response
• Agreeing with assertions
• Straightlining
• Saying “don’t know” (DK)
– Easier than thinking of an answer
– DK/no opinion is not the same as selecting a neutral or middle
alternative
• Tip: Generally avoid DK/no opinion response options
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
45. • Selecting the first reasonable response
• Agreeing with assertions
• Non-differentiation in ratings
• Saying “don’t know”
• Mental coin-flipping
FORMS OF SATISFICING BEHAVIOUR
46. There are two primary levers that we can operate on to reduce
satisficing:
1. Task difficulty
• Make questions as easy as possible
• Minimise distractions
• Keep the duration short
COMBATING SATISFICING
47. There are two primary levers that we can operate on to reduce satisficing:
1. Task difficulty
• Make questions as easy as possible
• Minimise distractions
• Keep the duration short
2. Respondent motivation
• Leverage survey importance
• Keep the duration short
• Use incentives and encouragement to increase engagement
COMBATING SATISFICING
48. 1. Begin from desired data set and drill down
to each individual survey question
2. Be aware of the cognitive response process
– and make it easy
3. Satisficing is a big threat – don’t enable it
with your questionnaires
