The response to the activities poll has been pretty light so far but there is support for the research presentations so I have drafted what I am calling a submission form, though it pretty much is a survey. I used Google Forms to create it so there are limitations, one of which is not being able to lock the form for editing once it is active, which Forms are as soon as they are created. The form is set so that researchers should be able to save progress and continue later and they shouldn't need to log in to Google to complete it. The form is set to insert responses from submitted forms into a Google Sheet, which has also been created. I still have time to tweak it further before I intend to launch and promote the submission form. With Google Forms, I can add collaborators who will also be able make changes to the form (no more than 1 or 2 needed).
If anyone would like to volunteer to look it over and offer suggestions for changes or be able to make changes to it themselves, send me a private message here and let me know if you just want the live link to the form to review it and test it or if you want to be added as a editor as well (the latter will require an email address that is linked to a Google account).
I would like to launch the submission form here by Monday, 19 February, if possible.
Once the form link is posted on this site and one or more submissions have occurred, no further changes should be made.
I may also need 1 or 2 collaborators to help review the submissions closer to the deadline. Researchers won't be required to submit their work (or their presentations thereof) prior to the submission deadline. Rather the questions are preparatory in nature asking things like how complete is their research, how they intend to present it, and basic details we can use for promoting their presentation as part of the VM Day activities. No limit is set yet but if we get a lot of responses, it may be necessary to set a limit as to how many will be accepted for VM Day and that is indicated in the form description. If it comes to that, then deciding which ones to reject is where I will need the most help after launch.
