Dear colleagues,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The use of online research methods in behavioral sciences has been rising for the past years. Especially due to the current pandemic, many developmental researchers are starting to consider conducting online research. Among various options, video-chat
is particularly useful for studies that benefit from having live social interactions with child participants. Rather than a temporary solution during the COVID-19 situation, we see video-chats as a promising source of high-quality data to complement traditional
in-person testing and increase the diversity of our participant pools. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">To share practical information about video-chat methods and help researchers make informed decisions, two teams have joined forces to host a webinar: Mark Sheskin (<a href="http://TheChildLab.com" class="">TheChildLab.com</a>, with Frank Keil)
who has years of experience conducting online video-chat studies using <i class="">
AdobeConnect</i>, and Hyo Gweon (<a href="http://sll.stanford.edu" class="">Social Learning Lab</a>, with Aaron Chuey and Megan Merrick) who has been developing and sharing materials for running studies via<i class=""> Zoom</i>. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We will demo example study sessions, compare different options (especially Zoom, AdobeConnect), and discuss best practices for the field moving forward. We hope that by the end of the webinar, you will have a clearer sense of how to start your
own online research! </div>
