NCRC vs PIEL Data

The National Conflict Resolution Center app for training initiatives on college campuses. Building on the significant strengths that are naturally present on higher education campuses and NCRC’s success in teaching people to communicate more effectively. NCRC’s interactive training modules focus on how to communicate more effectively on campus and in the world these modules have been loaded into the app for easy accessibility. Students, faculty, and staff first learn how to deal with personal conflict effectively, the foundation for additional learning. Exploration of their personal and cultural identities help students, faculty, and staff understand how these relate to their own communication style and assist them in gaining an appreciation of the identity of others. Students, faculty, and staff learn how these different styles can sometimes be the root of communication breakdown; and, most importantly, how they can learn to recognize when a communication breakdown is happening and do something about it, both interpersonally and when others are in conflict. Our app features interactive tools with quick access to our training modules, powerpoint, surveys and more.

PIEL Data is an app designed to help researchers manage the data collected from projects using the PIEL Survey app (available on the Apple Store). The app only handles the specific file format of the PIEL Survey app and cannot process other data file types. The PIEL Survey app enables researchers to conduct “in the moment” surveys. The data is received in the form of individual “csv” files which then have to be merged manually using spreadsheet software. The PIEL Data app enables researchers to import the participant data files into to the app database. This data can then be exported into a merged “csv” file which can easily be imported into third party spreadsheet or statistical software. The PIEL Survey app has been used by more than 40 universities in the US and Europe with more than 50 per reviewed publications. The PIEL Data app will streamline the process of conducting such projects.
