Intermediate Qualtrics

This course will cover topics beyond the scope of the Introduction to Qualtrics short course. Take a deeper dive into “Survey Flow” features, including routing with branches, embedded data, customizing the “End of Survey” experience, and randomization.

Orientation to Databricks

Databricks is a popular cloud platform for performing advanced data science and analytics work. It is also the flagship application that will be available for advanced data science needs in SHIRE, which is the new, secure environment many researchers will soon be required to use to work with data from the Carolina Data Warehouse for Health. In this seminar, JP Powers, PhD, will provide an orientation to Databricks for new and future users.
