Abstract
Behavioral scientists have been using the internet to conduct research for over two decades, but only recently has the scope of internet research begun to rival the traditional laboratory experiment. In this workshop, I will introduce you to the basics of online data collection and various tools for conducting online research, including jsPsych (http://www.jspsych.org), a programming library for conducting laboratory-like experiments online developed at Indiana University. I'll describe all the necessary components of running an online experiment, the features of jsPsych, and how to create a simple experiment using the jsPsych library.
