How do I develop a web platform to administer rating scales and psychological tests online? While numerous platform offer an user-friendly interface to administer simple rating scales, the implementation of psychological tests requires deeper skills. For example, platforms such as SocSciSurvey allow writing complex scripts by adding programming elements to the specification. For these tasks, JavaScript is the most common programming language and is present in all browsers. The objective of this seminar is to develop JavaScript competences to integrate basic HTML/CSS skills. A simple online application will be developed during this seminar.
