Setting up

To create any task, you must have Administrator or Moderator access. Using one of these accesses you must go to the activity's gear menu and click on "Edit Tasks". If you haven't yet created your first activity, you should do so before proceeding. Learn more about creating an activity here.

1. Choose "Screen recording" from the list of tasks.

2. Use the text box to write the question statement, instructions and any other information you deem necessary. Adjust the text formatting using the icons (bold, italics, background colors, text colors, alignment, etc).

You can supplement your assignment statement with a video, photo or file. To do this, simply click on the "Add Media" button in the top right-hand corner of the text box and upload it.

3. You can also change the task (question) code using the rounded field next to the task list. The code of a task is important for identifying the question in the database and also for viewing the answers on the platform. OW Voices will always place the screen "T" followed by a natural number in ascending order for task codes.

Remember that the question code cannot contain special characters, spaces or just the number 0.

4. Deposit the link that will be viewed by the participants during the screen recording. The link will automatically open in a new browser tab as soon as the recording starts. Remember to enter the link correctly, including the prefix "https://". If you don't want to direct participants to another site, just leave the field blank.

5. After finishing the screen recording, the participant may or may not add a description/comment to the recording. You can make the description mandatory by clicking on "Required Description".

6. Set a maximum and minimum number of recordings to be made by the participants.

How will I visualize this type of task in the database?

The CSV/Excel export will display a column with the text of the question and the rows will display the links to download the videos recorded by each participant. The links are identified by numbers and separated by brackets. To download the content, simply copy the link, paste it into a browser and press the "Enter" key.

The descriptions given by the participants for each medium will be identified and described in the next column.

Remember when reading your database: 
Empty cell → the question was not shown to the participant. Cell with only the number 0 → the participant did not select that answer option.
