Working Remotely: Resources for the Isolation









Hi everyone! I'll keep updating this with stuff that's primarily for this quarter, i.e. the struggles of working remotely. Please Slack me if you have questions, or email me with things. Happy working, thank you all!
​
Accessing Collected Data for Current Projects:
Videos, Inquisit Data and Excel data can be found on the server. Instructions on accessing the server can be found here: https://www.dosclab.com/software-information
​
In order to enter Paper Coded Data, follow the steps below: (IMPORTANT)
*Most, if not all, of the paper coded data can be found in the File Repository on the server
-
Slack Lucy letting her know you will need access to Paper Coding Sheets
-
Wait for Lucy to Slack you back (will remove you as 1st/2nd coder temporarily)
-
Once Lucy has Slacked you, go to the File Repository on the left Sidebar Menu. Download all relevant files onto your computer.
-
Slack Lucy letting her know you have downloaded all of the files.
-
Wait for Lucy, who will add you back as 1st/2nd coder
-
After Lucy has Slacked you, process to do data entry.
Please make sure to follow these steps, otherwise data will not be entered correctly or you will not have access to the paper coded files.
If you are doing discrepancy coding, these steps are not necessary and you will have access to the File Repository all the time.
​
Logging into RA Room Macs Remotely:
In order to access our Participant Database on Filemaker or run studies on Inquisit, you will have to access one of our lab Macs. We will be using a software called NoMachine that will allow you to mirror the Mac screen and control it remotely.
Install NoMachine here: https://www.nomachine.com/download
​
Using NoMachine:
Accessing the Computer:
-
Log into the UCI VPN. Important. If you do not log into the UCI VPN, you will not be able to access the lab computers.
-
Open NoMachine. You will see an instruction screen telling you how to enter IP addresses to remotely access computers. Read the instruction screen carefully before clicking "Continue".
-
Once you click continue, you'll be taken to a page where you can enter the IP addresses for the computer you want to access. Here are the IP addresses for each of our RA room computers:
-
Closest to the Door: 128.200.46.140​
-
Middle computer: 128.200.46.139
-
Closest to the wall: 128.200.46.246
-
-
It will ask you to verify host authenticity. Click Yes.
- It will then ask you for a username and password. Enter as below:
Username: Development of Social Cognition Lab
Password: (Our usual password)
-
Once you press enter, you will see a multiple preference screens. Go through them and press OK for all of them. Then you'll arrive at the computer log in screen. Log into the Development of Social Cognition Lab user as usual and you should be able to access the computer.
​
Using the Computer:
Here are a few things to keep in mind while using the computer:
-
You can fit the screen to size, so you can see the whole computer screen at once, or view the screen zoomed in. To toggle the settings, click on the very top right corner of NoMachine and it will take you to the settings page. Once you're done adjusting the settings, just click "Done."
-
Only one person can use one computer at a time, so once you are done, just close the NoMachine window and it will log you out.
-
If you are done, you can log out of the user but DO NOT SHUT DOWN THE COMPUTER OR PUT IT ON SLEEP MODE. We cannot use the computer if it is not active, so if you accidentally inactivate the computer (put it on sleep mode or shut it down), let Sifana know right away.
​
Signing into the Lab Zoom Account
In order to run studies online, you need to sign into the lab zoom account:
-
Sign out of your personal account. Do not switch account, sign out completely.
-
Select "Sign In with SSO"
-
Enter "uci" for company domain.
-
Enter the lab credentials for SSO. Do NOT sign in with your own UCI NetID. If you sign in with you own NetID, you will need to close the browser and quit it (by left-clicking the icon on your menu/taskbar and quitting out of the application, or force-quitting the application) and then try again.
If you need the lab password for the SSO, contact the lab manager.
