    365. Development of Digital Measures w/ Kristen Getz & Dr. Lisa Drozdick

    I’m fortunate enough to have two return guests today, Dr. Lisa Drozdick and Kristen Getz, to talk about development of digital assessment measures. Lisa and Kristen are heavily involved in Q-interactive and have many years of experience to draw from in this conversation, from both the research and product sides. For a wannabe tech geek like myself, this was a dream come true to be able to pick their brains about the ins and outs of developing digital measures. Here are just a few things that we talk about:

    • The scope and research plan for digital projects
    • User interface and design decisions in digital development
    • Gender neutrality in digital assessment
    • Deciding what data is important to measure when you could almost literally measure everything
