>> Hello and welcome.

0:00:01.856,0:00:06.046
Thank you for viewing the SONA systems[br]tutorial intended for instructors.

0:00:07.516,0:00:12.316
The following section will demonstrate the[br]processes of creating an instructor account

0:00:12.316,0:00:16.706

0:01:39.916,0:01:46.026
please contact the SONA administrator[br]at sonasfsu@gmail.com.

0:01:47.346,0:01:52.326
The following section will cover the current[br]departmental and IRB policies for use

0:01:52.326,0:01:55.966
of the SONA system as an instructor[br]as well as provide answers

0:01:55.966,0:01:58.846
to several common questions[br]regarding SONA credits.

0:01:59.206,0:02:05.176
In most of the core classes, students[br]are required to complete a total

0:02:05.176,0:02:10.076
of three research credits in the SONA system,[br]with an additional 1/2 credit required

0:02:10.366,0:02:14.306
for each unexcused absence they[br]earn by not showing up to a study.

0:02:15.096,0:02:20.446
Several other courses also offer SONA[br]participation, typically as extra credit.

0:02:20.446,0:02:23.796
The number of credits that can be[br]completed is chosen by the instructor.

0:02:24.356,0:02:28.266
Most instructors choose between three[br]and six SONA credits for their courses.

0:02:29.046,0:02:36.086
Most classes make one SONA credit equal[br]to 0.5 to 1% of the final class grade.

0:02:36.656,0:02:41.876
For example, in a 600 point class, one[br]SONA credit would be equal to three

0:02:41.876,0:02:44.336
to six points on the class grading scale.

0:02:45.296,0:02:48.886
Assignment of SONA credit is[br]based on these three factors.

0:02:49.486,0:02:53.036
First, the time required to[br]complete the study means the amount

0:02:53.036,0:02:56.156
of time a student spends completing[br]the study should translate

0:02:56.156,0:02:58.446
to a certain number of SONA[br]credits being earned.

0:02:59.066,0:03:03.336
This results in 0.25 credits for[br]each 15 minutes of student time.

0:03:03.986,0:03:07.836
For example, a 60 minute study[br]would be worth one credit

0:03:08.046,0:03:11.866
and a 70 minute study would[br]be worth 1.25 credits.

0:03:12.276,0:03:15.916
Notice that researchers should always[br]round up when assigning credits.

0:03:16.686,0:03:19.126
Second, the location of the study means

0:03:19.126,0:03:21.886
where the student completes[br]the study should also translate

0:03:21.886,0:03:23.966
to a certain number of SONA[br]credits being earned.

0:03:24.546,0:03:30.756
This results in no additional credit for studies[br]completed online but an additional 0.5 credits

0:03:30.816,0:03:32.346
for all studies completed in-person.

0:03:32.986,0:03:38.346
For example, a 15 minute study done in-person[br]would be worth 0.25 credits for the time

0:03:38.346,0:03:42.046
of the study with an additional 0.5[br]credits for being done in-person,

0:03:42.376,0:03:45.196
resulting in a total of 0.75 credits.

0:03:45.566,0:03:49.116
Remember that researchers should[br]always round up when assigning credits.

0:03:49.966,0:03:54.326
Third, the number of sessions for the study[br]means how many times the student needs

0:03:54.326,0:03:56.936
to complete an action which[br]should also translate

0:03:56.936,0:03:58.936
to a certain number of SONA[br]credits being earned.

0:03:59.726,0:04:03.766
This results in no additional credits[br]for studies completed in a single session

0:04:04.226,0:04:08.726
but an additional 0.5 credits for all[br]studies completed at subsequent sessions.

0:04:09.056,0:04:15.376
For example, a 15 minute study with two sessions[br]would be worth 0.25 credits for the time

0:04:15.376,0:04:19.116
of the study in the first session[br]with an additional 0.5 credits

0:04:19.156,0:04:25.406
for the second 15 minute session, resulting in[br]a total of 0.75 credits for the second session.

0:04:25.826,0:04:29.866
It is important to keep in[br]mind how long instructors have

0:04:29.866,0:04:31.726
to collect data in the SONA system.

0:04:32.306,0:04:36.466
SONA opens the first week of instruction[br]during the following spring semesters.

0:04:37.006,0:04:42.666
The SONA system closes at 5 PM the[br]final weekday before final exams begin.

0:04:43.276,0:04:47.256
Students will not be able to complete[br]studies once the final exams have begun.

0:04:47.986,0:04:52.156
This ensures that all completed credits[br]will be awarded to students and listed

0:04:52.156,0:04:55.656
in the SONA system before instructors[br]calculate their final grades.

0:04:56.586,0:04:59.946
All instructors are welcome to set earlier[br]deadlines for completing the studies.

0:05:00.806,0:05:04.656
Please make the deadline for student[br]participation clear when writing your syllabus.

0:05:05.946,0:05:09.526
This concludes the training on[br]instructor accounts in the SONA system.
