translate questionnaires

[raynamharris]

Challenge: Learners at a Spanish-language workshop may not be able to respond to the English-language survey. Is anyone interested in translating the workshop survey pre- and post-assessment surveys?

I can help

The surveys are going to be updated soon, so you may want that the new questions get approved before starting on the translation. That's a great idea though!

@ErinBecker are there IRB/ethical concerns to get data from participants from other countries?

[jmbarrios]

OK. I'll be waiting for future update about this issue

[ErinBecker]

We are not allowed to use responses from other countries for research purposes (because the IRB has no authority to approve research outside of the USA). We are allowed to collect those responses, and to use them for reporting purposes (for funders, community, etc) and for improving programming, but we do need to strip them from the data if we publish a research article.
