Experimenter interfaces

vcweb has pre-built experimenter user interfaces for managing experiments, experiment configurations, and subject recruitment but allows for arbitrary participant interfaces.

Experiment configuration

Experiment configurations are clonable, sharable, and editable online. To modify an experiment configuration, first clone it and then modify your copy of it. Editable experiment configurations

Starting a new experiment

First select an experiment treatment to run. Start a new experiment

Registering participants with the experiment

Once you know the exact number of participants that will be participating in your experiment, proceed to this step. If participants will be physically present for the experiment you can generate @mailinator.com addresses and hand them out to each participant along with their password.

Participant registration

Monitor experiments in real-time

The experiment monitor page enables experimenters to observe and control the status of their experiment in real-time, for example transitioning all participants from one round to the next.

Subject recruitment

You can use vcweb to send invitations to randomly selected subjects to participate in your experiment.

Participant interfaces

Existing participant UIs have been implemented using Sencha Touch, jQuery Mobile, Bootstrap 3, and Knockout JS. If you are developing a new experiment, you are free to use as much of the existing scaffolding for these tools as you want or ignore them completely and roll your own.

Lighter Footprints

The participant interface for the Lighter Footprints experiment was designed by Fervor Creative. Thanks, Fervor! Also, sorry we were not able to implement your design to spec, we ran out of time.
