Data Aggregation Project

This project lets you quickly set up an on-line form to
allow students to enter observations.  You can use it to
have students in class enter observations and all download
the aggregated data.  In this way a whole room can enter
measurements much more quickly than if they all had to
enter them using one machine.  Even better, we use the
system to allow us to aggregate data across multiple lab
sections.  By having all 30 sections contribute measurements,
we can build a dataset with n=600 in a week.  This gives
students a much more robust dataset to analyze where
even phenomena with a small effect size can be studied.
Furthermore, it provides a rationale for using technology:
we let them analyze those 600 data points in any way they
want.

To set up a project type:
  ./mkdb projectname

This should create a folder for your project.  cd into your
project folder and create gen.inc (possibly using sample.gen.inc
as a model).

If you need help using the system, I encourage you to contact
