1
00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:07,463
My team here at Ohio State University 
built a little web app that, I think, is 

2
00:00:07,463 --> 00:00:12,549
a great tool that you'll enjoy using. 
So I want to show you step by step how 

3
00:00:12,549 --> 00:00:17,860
you're going to be able to use the Street 
Seen app to create a visual survey. 

4
00:00:17,860 --> 00:00:20,910
The first thing you're going to do is 
you're going to go and press the Log In 

5
00:00:20,910 --> 00:00:25,430
button. 
And you'll be able to log in via 

6
00:00:25,430 --> 00:00:29,530
Coursera, so you can simply sign in with 
Coursera. 

7
00:00:29,530 --> 00:00:33,250
So just press that button and you'll be 
able to go ahead and log in. 

8
00:00:33,250 --> 00:00:36,450
Alright, once you are logged in then what 
you'll be able to do is click on the My 

9
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:40,172
Research button. 
And then what you're going to do is 

10
00:00:40,172 --> 00:00:43,376
you're going to choose the Create a New 
Study button. 

11
00:00:43,376 --> 00:00:46,778
So what we're going to want to be able to 
do is go ahead and provide a title that 

12
00:00:46,778 --> 00:00:50,710
will name our study. 
So, in this case, I'm going to say the 

13
00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:53,304
Bicycling in Columbus Ohio. 
[SOUND]. 

14
00:00:53,304 --> 00:00:56,784
You want to be a little bit specific so 
that way if you create more than one 

15
00:00:56,784 --> 00:01:01,678
survey that you'll be able to know which 
one you're talking about. 

16
00:01:01,678 --> 00:01:05,038
And then you'll type in a brief 
description that will describe what your 

17
00:01:05,038 --> 00:01:08,511
survey is about. 
This description is principally for 

18
00:01:08,511 --> 00:01:11,673
yourself, so that you're able to 
understand what the research question is 

19
00:01:11,673 --> 00:01:15,316
about if you go to it later. 
And then you're going to choose a 

20
00:01:15,316 --> 00:01:19,530
question for the voter. 
So you can choose any question you want. 

21
00:01:19,530 --> 00:01:22,975
So in this case, I'm going to type in, 
I'm typing, which street would you prefer 

22
00:01:22,975 --> 00:01:27,298
to ride a bicycle on? 
So please note that you cannot change the 

23
00:01:27,298 --> 00:01:31,140
title of the question, once you launch 
the study. 

24
00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:33,140
So be sure you're happy with the 
question. 

25
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:36,720
And then you can choose to share your 
research or not. 

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,284
And so what will happen is if you choose 
to share your research, then others will 

27
00:01:40,284 --> 00:01:43,592
be able to see the results, of your 
survey. 

28
00:01:43,592 --> 00:01:46,778
Making that publicly available for 
anybody that might wish to use that 

29
00:01:46,778 --> 00:01:50,842
results data. 
So what we want to do is go ahead and say 

30
00:01:50,842 --> 00:01:53,852
Create a Study. 
Now what we want to do is, we want to 

31
00:01:53,852 --> 00:01:57,918
create our area of study. 
So in this case, what I want to do is 

32
00:01:57,918 --> 00:02:00,470
Zoom In a little bit, you can adjust the 
map. 

33
00:02:01,490 --> 00:02:05,443
And I want to do a study, and I will just 
add the points of where I want this study 

34
00:02:05,443 --> 00:02:09,755
to be, so I want to keep it inside of 
this highway. 

35
00:02:09,755 --> 00:02:16,700
Alright, and so then once I've created 
four, these I've closed that area in. 

36
00:02:16,700 --> 00:02:19,810
If you want to adjust any of these, you 
certainly can. 

37
00:02:19,810 --> 00:02:22,433
You can move it any way you'd want, and 
that will stretch your study area as 

38
00:02:22,433 --> 00:02:26,262
preferred. 
So I'm going to say the name of the area 

39
00:02:26,262 --> 00:02:29,832
is Columbus, Ohio. 
Doug said, Columbus, Ohio inside the 270 

40
00:02:29,832 --> 00:02:32,506
loop. 
And I can add a brief description 

41
00:02:32,506 --> 00:02:36,762
explaining this. 
Then what you're going to do is you're 

42
00:02:36,762 --> 00:02:39,540
going to specify how many images you want 
to pull. 

43
00:02:39,540 --> 00:02:43,261
So for the purposes of your survey you 
may want to have say 10 sets of images 

44
00:02:43,261 --> 00:02:47,510
that people will compare, so 20 different 
pictures. 

45
00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:50,510
So you may want to pull more than that in 
order to be able to have pictures to 

46
00:02:50,510 --> 00:02:54,025
choose from. 
So in this case, I'm going to choose 50 

47
00:02:54,025 --> 00:02:57,902
images, please don't choose more than a 
100 images at a time. 

48
00:02:57,902 --> 00:03:01,422
Because what will happen is that we have 
limits on the number of Google Street 

49
00:03:01,422 --> 00:03:05,962
View images that we can pull down. 
And if you exceed those numbers then OSU 

50
00:03:05,962 --> 00:03:09,665
gets charged a lot of money. 
So we want to prevent that so we just ask 

51
00:03:09,665 --> 00:03:13,890
that you choose no more than a 100 images 
at a time. 

52
00:03:13,890 --> 00:03:17,190
And so, what we're going to do, is have 
these images 50 meters apart, but you 

53
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:20,660
could choose any distance that you might 
want. 

54
00:03:20,660 --> 00:03:24,008
Now, if you want a very specific 
geography, you could choose an individual 

55
00:03:24,008 --> 00:03:28,390
street, a region, you can choose at 
whatever scale you might want. 

56
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:31,414
Then, you can choose to either Save and 
Add another, if you choose to Save and 

57
00:03:31,414 --> 00:03:34,320
Add Another, then you can add another 
area. 

58
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,100
And so, in this case, I want to go ahead 
and add another area. 

59
00:03:39,100 --> 00:03:42,796
But what I'm going to be doing here, is I 
want to compare areas that are inside the 

60
00:03:42,796 --> 00:03:46,240
loop to areas that are outside of the 
loop. 

61
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:50,524
So I'm going to just choose an area in 
Northern Columbus, so I will just put my 

62
00:03:50,524 --> 00:04:00,013
pinpoints here. 
And what we'll be able to do is compare 

63
00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:04,825
between these two geographic areas. 
To be able to understand whether or not 

64
00:04:04,825 --> 00:04:08,605
people prefer to bicycle in the are, area 
of Columbus or the outer area or 

65
00:04:08,605 --> 00:04:12,878
Columbus. 
So I'm going to select another 50 images, 

66
00:04:12,878 --> 00:04:17,070
and I want those to be 50 apart. 
And then I'll be ready, and I want to go 

67
00:04:17,070 --> 00:04:20,851
ahead and start my study. 
Now, what has happened is that we have a 

68
00:04:20,851 --> 00:04:27,340
series of images that have come up. 
We will be able to do is then Edit these 

69
00:04:27,340 --> 00:04:31,015
images as appropriate. 
So in my case what I want to be able to 

70
00:04:31,015 --> 00:04:34,755
do is Capture the road image because this 
is what we're asking people if they would 

71
00:04:34,755 --> 00:04:39,118
like to bicycle on. 
So, for example, this picture's perfect 

72
00:04:39,118 --> 00:04:42,602
because from the bicyclist's perspective, 
I can imagine what it would be like to 

73
00:04:42,602 --> 00:04:47,044
bicycle down this roadway. 
And a voter would be able to determine 

74
00:04:47,044 --> 00:04:52,160
and understand, hm, would I like to 
bicycle down this roadway? 

75
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,649
If you compare this to, for example, this 
image, where what you see is somebody's 

76
00:04:56,649 --> 00:04:59,400
yard. 
What you would want to do, is go ahead 

77
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,455
and Click on this image and then you can 
Rotate the image around to be able to get 

78
00:05:02,455 --> 00:05:06,690
the street perspective. 
What you would be able to do is Rotate 

79
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:09,160
the image around to get the street 
perspective. 

80
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,520
So you can Edit these images as you would 
prefer. 

81
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,000
So in this case I want to open this image 
up, and I want to Delete this, because I 

82
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,510
don't want to use this in my particular 
study. 

83
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:21,470
So I can simply Delete the image, and 
it's going to ask me to confirm. 

84
00:05:21,470 --> 00:05:24,809
So what I'm going to do, is I'm going to 
go ahead and go through and Edit each of 

85
00:05:24,809 --> 00:05:28,302
these images. 
In this case, what i want to be able to 

86
00:05:28,302 --> 00:05:31,898
show, that for my study is, I want to be 
able to have ten images that are in the 

87
00:05:31,898 --> 00:05:36,953
Northern part of Columbus. 
And I want to have ten images that are in 

88
00:05:36,953 --> 00:05:41,330
the Central part of Columbus, to be able 
to compare and contrast. 

89
00:05:41,330 --> 00:05:45,800
So that I have a total of 20 images for 
my particular survey. 

90
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,150
So what I'll do is just go through, go 
ahead and Edit all of these. 

91
00:05:49,150 --> 00:05:53,686
And then what will happen is that once 
I'm done with all of the editing, then I 

92
00:05:53,686 --> 00:05:59,365
can choose to, Save my study. 
And then, when I'm ready, so I've 

93
00:05:59,365 --> 00:06:03,017
completed everything that I want to do. 
Then what I'm going to want to do is go 

94
00:06:03,017 --> 00:06:07,506
ahead and Launch that survey. 
So it will ask me After launching your 

95
00:06:07,506 --> 00:06:11,258
study, I will no longer be able to change 
the question Add new areas, Add or Remove 

96
00:06:11,258 --> 00:06:15,500
or Modify the images. 
So I can say Yes, launch my study, and 

97
00:06:15,500 --> 00:06:18,880
that's the button that you're going to 
press. 

98
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,576
So once we have launched our study, you 
will see that we now have that this has 

99
00:06:22,576 --> 00:06:28,200
opened up and that I have 0 Votes. 
What I can do is just click on the Vote 

100
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,760
button, and this will take me to my 
survey link, okay? 

101
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,887
So what I can do is simply Copy this 
survey link, and then I will be able to 

102
00:06:35,887 --> 00:06:39,100
share that with my friends and 
colleagues. 

103
00:06:39,100 --> 00:06:42,313
I'll be able to share it on social media, 
and ask people to complete the, this 

104
00:06:42,313 --> 00:06:46,467
visual survey. 
Going to press on the Analyze button and 

105
00:06:46,467 --> 00:06:50,970
what this will do is we pull up a Summary 
of results. 

106
00:06:50,970 --> 00:06:55,000
So, we can see that we have a total of 7 
Votes that have been collected. 

107
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,849
You will certainly have far more votes 
than this. 

108
00:06:57,849 --> 00:07:01,561
And what we can see is the total number 
of times that this particular image was 

109
00:07:01,561 --> 00:07:07,286
favored and the total number of votes. 
Alright, and so we can simply see that 

110
00:07:07,286 --> 00:07:11,984
this image is from inside the 270 loop 
and this one from outside of this 

111
00:07:11,984 --> 00:07:16,582
particular loop. 
And we can go down and see all of the 

112
00:07:16,582 --> 00:07:20,010
results. 
Then what we can do, is we can also press 

113
00:07:20,010 --> 00:07:23,805
on these other buttons to get different 
kinds of results and you can also choose 

114
00:07:23,805 --> 00:07:29,460
to Download the data. 
And you can choose to download it as a 

115
00:07:29,460 --> 00:07:33,945
CSV file or an XLS file, either the 
Summary or the Full Results. 

116
00:07:33,945 --> 00:07:37,530
This is a simple, easy to use tool. 
We hope that you'll find it to be 

117
00:07:37,530 --> 00:07:41,430
something you find useful, and we look 
forward to seeing your results.
