1 About

In this report, you’ll find some data on the usage of the online training “Privacy Basics for Researchers”. This online module was created by Research Data Management Support at Utrecht University (NL) to provide a researcher-friendly introduction into the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with a focus on how it applies to scientific research performed at Utrecht University (UU).

A description of and a registration link to the online module can be found on the RDM Support website. The module is embedded within the Utrecht University Moodle platform, “ULearning”, but the raw module materials are also available online via Zenodo.

Note

This report is primarily meant for internal monitoring purposes at the moment. We may adjust this report in a later stage, or move it to another web address!

2 Getting, reading and cleaning the data

2.1 Downloading the data

To obtain the data for this report from the ULearning platform, the following steps should be followed by a teacher/administrator in the ULearning platform:

2.1.0.1 1. List of enrolled participants
  1. From course main page, go to Participants.
  2. Set the following selection criteria: Match All of the following
    • Match ANY Roles: Student, Guest, Authenticated user, Authenticated user on site home AND
    • Match None Groups: Red
  3. Click “Apply filters”
  4. Select all users
  5. Under “With selected users…”, select “Comma-separated values (.csv)”
  6. Save the file in the raw folder. Add the date of downloading in the downloaded csv file “YYYYMMDD_courseid_838_participants.csv”
2.1.0.2 2. Progress report
  1. From course main page, go to Reports > Activity completion
  2. Download the file to the spreadsheet format (UTF-8 .csv)
  3. Save the file in the raw folder. Add the date of downloading in the downloaded csv file “YYYYMMDD_progress.pbfr.csv”
2.1.0.3 3. Quiz results
  1. From course main page, go to “Chapter 6 | Closing” > “Final Quiz”
  2. Click “Attempts: [##]” (The ## indicating the number of attempts)
  3. Under What to include in the report, select:
    • Attempts from enrolled users who have attempted the quiz
    • Attempts that are In progress, Overdue, Finished, and Never submitted
    • Check Show at most one finished attempt per user (Highest grade)
  4. Under Display options:
    • Make sure Page size is larger than the amount of attempts.
    • Marks for each question: Yes
  5. Click Show report.
  6. Select all participants using the checkbox above the first name in the list.
  7. Download the data as Comma separated values (.csv)
  8. Save the file in the raw folder as “YYYYMMDD_PBfR-Quiz.csv”.
2.1.0.4 4. Privacy Basics for Researchers - Course participants report
  1. In ULearning, go to your profile picture and select Reports.
  2. Select the Custom report “Privacy Basics for Researchers e-learning”
  3. Scroll down and download the report as Comma separated values (.csv)
  4. Save the file in the raw folder as “YYYYMMDD_Privacy Basics for Researchers e-learning.csv”

The raw data are not shared because they contain personal data (e.g., names, email addresses and information about participants’ progress in the module).

2.2 Reading and cleaning the data

We first have to read and clean the data to get usable data frames. We don’t want to include people who were involved in the creation of the course or who provided feedback on it; we only need the actual users; people who enrolled after the launch of the course with the intention to actually learn something new!
