Abstract
With help from a large and diverse group of colleges and universities over the past decade, the National Survey of Student Engagement has conducted various randomized experiments aimed at improving survey response rates and minimizing missing data. This session provides an overview of this effort and a summary of major findings. Attendees will gain a better understanding of various issues that could help with developing their own surveys, including smartphone optimization, email subject lines, progress indicators, survey page length, and using learning management systems for recruitment.
