Dimensions Administration: Paper

(formerly mrPaper/mrScan)

Course description:

The training consists of 3 parts: Questionnaire Creation, Questionnaire formatting, and automatic data entry with scanning software.

The SPSS Paper Solution begins with designing the questionnaire. Quanquest provides an easy to use graphical user interface with comprehensive tools for creating questionnaire scripts. This course gives designers a thorough understanding of Quanquest features applicable to constructing scripts for paper questionnaires. Within a half day you will create an example questionnaire ready for export to mrPaper.

Next, we export the document to mrPaper. mrPaper has been designed for ease of use. Yet, it is incredibly powerful and flexible. Through the use of Looks or “themes”, anyone, even with minimal computing skills, can create stylish paper questionnaires. If you want to develop an in-house look and feel to paper surveys, the use of easy to learn Microsoft Word skills will make quick progress towards your goals.

Paper questionnaires can be easily designed and formatted for automatic data entry using scanning software. mrScan has been developed to remove the manual definition of scan fields and data preparation for paper questionnaires generated by mrPaper. In order to automate the process of data collection offered by SPSS MR’s Paper Solution, the user has to learn how to transfer a paper questionnaire to the scanning package, scan documents, operate the scanning software and recover the final data files.
