Network Canvas in the Cloud: Advances in Social Network Data Collection

About

Collecting self-reported social network data has traditionally been a challenge for both qualitative and quantitative researchers. In this seminar, we introduce new cloud features in the software Network Canvas. This open source software has been under continual development for a decade through multiple NIH and UKRI grants. It is designed for participant-facing workflows.

In this seminar we introduce the upcoming release of Network Canvas Fresco which includes an online form builder, state-of-the-art family tree collection, new interfaces for efficient network data collection, multi-user projects, 2-factor authentication and extensive look and feel upgrades for both the online and desktop versions.
