REDCap Training Task

Do your best to complete this independently. Consult Google and YouTube for tutorials. You can ask your trainer any questions that you have not been able to resolve in a timely manner.

The purpose of this training task is to familiarize yourself with common REDCap tasks, not to check off all of the items listed. Do complete the items, but also use them as a guide to learning how to use REDCap. Send updates on your progress to your Supervisors and in the URA REDCap Team Channel.

Do NOT edit any other instruments.
