Can users estimate their usage of a web-based application? Validating a self-report usage questionnaire.

Abstract

User surveys are often used to estimate usage of online systems. We asked medical student to estimate their weekly use of KnowledgeMap, an online medical education system, during the previous semester. The information was validated against server log files. The average number of log-on days was significantly different across four categories of self-reported use. Self-reported frequency scales may be used to correctly segregate users into discrete ordinal usage groups.

Myco-Ed: Mycological curriculum for education and discovery.

Fungi are important and hyperdiverse organisms, yet chronically understudied. Most fungal clades have no reference genomes, impeding our understanding of their ecosystem functions and use as solutions in health and biotechnology. Also, opportunities for training in fungal biology and genomics are lacking, creating a bottleneck that hinders the recruitment and cultivation of a talented future mycological workforce. To address these issues, we developed Myco-Ed, an educational program offering training and scientific contributions through genome sequencing and analysis. Myco-Ed empowers students to pursue careers in fungal biology while improving fungal resources. Myco-Ed has been piloted at 12 institutions (15 classrooms) ranging from online e-Campuses to R1 universities, resulting in hundreds of fungal observations and many new high-quality reference genomes.
