_config.yml

# Welcome to Jekyll!
#
# This config file is meant for settings that affect your whole site, values
# which you are expected to set up once and rarely edit after that. If you find
# yourself editing these this file very often, consider using Jekyll's data files
# feature for the data you need to update frequently.
#
# For technical reasons, this file is *NOT* reloaded automatically when you use
# 'jekyll serve'. If you change this file, please restart the server process.

# Site settings
# These are used to personalize your new site. If you look in the HTML files,
# you will see them accessed via {{ site.title }}, {{ site.github_repo }}, and so on.
# You can create any custom variable you would like, and they will be accessible
# in the templates via {{ site.myvariable }}.
title: Running web-based experiments
tagline: A minicourse held as part of the LSA 2021 Annual Meeting
description: "Researchers are increasingly turning to web-based methods for collecting experimental data. The COVID19 pandemic has further accelerated this trend. The goal of this mini-course is to give participants an introduction to web-based experimentation. In the first part of the course we will discuss advantages and disadvantages of running experiments in-lab vs online, including a comparison of different data collection platforms like Amazon Mechanical Turk and Prolific Academic. We will also provide an overview of open science best practices, including transparent data sharing and pre-registration. The remainder of the course will be hands-on: using a running example from the experimental pragmatics domain, participants will learn to use git/GitHub for project management; modify an existing experiment; post the experiment to a data collection platform; and conduct basic data visualization/analyses using R."
