Data Release

The following page will guide you through releasing the results of a survey.
Information about Data Release

Data release is when you allow people (usually your students) to view the results of a survey you own. For a Team-Maker survey, data release involves letting students know what teams they will be in. In a peer evaluation survey, this involves releasing peer-ratings and peer-to-peer comments so students know what their team-mates think about their performance. This can be done after your survey has ended.

You can also choose to release your data to researchers as well, so they can use the information gathered to help improve CATME as well as fuel research into the intricacies of team-work and team-behavior.
