WORKSHOP ONE - Survey design, administration and analysis
Time: 9:00am - 12noon
Cost: $60.00

This workshop is designed for anyone with little formal training in surveys. It covers most aspects of planning and conducting an effective survey. There will also be an opportunity for critiquing survey designs and participants are asked to bring along a survey that they believe needs improvement.

Cost: $50.00

THIS WORKSHOP HAS REACHED MAXIMUM NUMBERS AND IS NOW CLOSED. If you would like to be placed on a waitlist please email natalie@leishman-associates.com.au

As institutional researchers who are involved with data analysis we tend to be logical/analytical and left-brain focused. Are we then missing out on getting our messages across to certain audiences? This workshop will explore different techniques for presenting information.

Cost: $30.00

This workshop is intended for those who are attending their first AAIR Forum and/or who have been working in institutional research (IR) for less than three years.
