Paper Forms
|
To enter data using
paper forms, you either (1.) print the form from your computer
if you have Adobe Acrobat loaded on your local computer, or
(2.) contact the Evaluation Center to have paper forms mailed
to you.
When completing paper forms, please
use a medium point, black ink pen. Please write neatly within
the boxes.
Forms can be faxed to the
evaluation center on a 24 hour--7 days per week
basis.
You can also click here to
request that paper forms be mailed to you.
The disadvantage of paper forms is
that there will be a higher data entry error rate. (You
can make a copy of the paper form before you mail it, but that
is not necessarily the same data that gets entered into the
multi-site database.) |

Adobe Acrobat
Forms |
To enter data by using
Adobe Acrobat PDF forms, you must have Acrobat Reader loaded
on your computer. Click on the link to bring up the
appropriate data form--then complete this form on the
computer--and click on the "submit data" button on the bottom
of the first page.
After clicking on the submit
button, your data will be ready to be entered into the
multi-site data set within approximately one minute. Staff at
the Evaluation Center will review your data if TELEform
informs us that there is a possible error.
Acrobat forms can used to send data
to the evaluation center on a 24 hour--7 days per week
basis.
The advantage of Acrobat forms is
reduction of data entry errors, provides the sender with both
printed and file copy of the actual data entered into the
database, and provide the ability to analyze data within a few
hours of submission. Additionally, data can be entered in the
"field" on notebook computers and submitted to the Evaluation
Center at a later time when connected to the
internet.
If you need assistance with the
free Adobe Acrobat Reader program, please call the Evaluation
Center or request TA here. |

Web Page Forms
|
To enter data by using
a web browser, you will need to click on the form link. The
only web browser that works is MS-Internet Explorer 5 (and
higher). The HTML forms will NOT work with Netscape. If you
get an error message, it is probably because you are using
Netscape.
Using HTML forms are the same as
Acrobat forms, except that the form does not look like the
paper form.
HTML forms can used to send data to
the evaluation center on a 24 hour--7 days per week
basis.
The advantage of HTML forms is
reduction of data entry errors and an ability to analyze data
within a few hours of submission. The forms can also be
printed prior to submission of the data, however, the printing
is not a good as with Adobe Acrobat forms.
