Consent form is not OSWeb compatible

Shreya

I am using OpenSesame for the first time. It appears that the pre-packaged consent form as well as the other forms are not OSWeb compatible.

Are there other ways to create OSWeb compatible consent form (text with some buttons that the user can click)?

Hi @Shreya ,

It's a bit more involved to do this in OSWeb than on the desktop, but you can accomplish the same thing by drawing an Accept button on a sketchpad and then checking whether participants actually clicked that button before moving on with the experiment. I attached an example that shows the general idea.

Thank you very much. I will try this out. One more question. My consent form is a little long. If I have to get it inside the grid area along with a button placed at the bottom, it requires me to reduce the font size too much to the extent it may not be visible to the participant.

Is there a way I can lengthen the sketchpad area so that more text can be accommodated without reducing the font size?

Hi @Shreya ,

This implementation of a consent form uses a sketchpad (so there's no concept of a grid as with the form_consent item). So you have a lot of flexibility in how you want to design the display. And of course you can spread the information over multiple displays as well, and then only ask for explicit confirmation on the last one.
