Surveys are important tools for gathering the data we use for training evaluation, and they’re easy to compose, right? Wrong!

Survey respondents get frustrated with questions that don’t have response options that match their experiences, or confused by response options that are misaligned with question stems.

Poorly constructed rating scale questions are a particularly common phenomenon, even for experienced evaluators and survey designers!

Did you know that the rating scales we use with survey questions actually influence response?

This makes our decisions about which scales or which intervals to offer even more impactful. We also hold onto myths about how many scale points are best, how to label them, or whether to use an odd or even number of response options.

These beliefs prevent us from asking clear, easy-to-answer questions that yield meaningful, actionable data.

Join Sheila for real-world examples of survey questions, practice in identifying common rating scale problems, and some mythbusting, along with research-based strategies for designing high-quality rating scale questions.

Participants will be able to:

• identify common problems with survey rating scales
• identify common myths in rating scale design
• determine when to use an odd or even number of scale points in a given survey item
• determine when to use midpoints and non-substantive response options in rating scale items
• apply best practices for labeling rating scales

Are ChatGPT and all the other rapidly emerging AI engines the new life-blood of presentation creation or are they a death knell?

Maybe they will be both! Join in on this first look at how AI will impact our workflow as presentationists: how it can assist in research, photo search, fleshing out of content, and actual building of slides.

Soon, you might not be able to tell if a human authored those slides and nobody really knows if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

This introduction and overview addresses these implications. It answers the question of how and how not, why and why not to use these powerful new building blocks.
