Hi again JISC-Repositories colleagues,

It's your last chance to go in a draw for a £30 Amazon gift voucher by
responding to the CD-LOR / RepoMMan Survey!  We decided to extend the survey by
a week so today is the last day.

If you create teaching & learning resources (anything from simple Word documents
and PowerPoint slides to complex simulations or interactive exercises, games and
assessments) and want to go in the draw, please follow this link to the survey:
http://www.eservices.hull.ac.uk/cd-lor/

For more detailed information, see below for the original announcement email
about the survey:

*** Begin email text ***

Do you create teaching and learning resources? That is, do you develop,
co-develop or re-purpose resources for use with students, in the classroom or
online, in higher or further education (i.e. universities or colleges, including
vocational education) anywhere in the world?  For instance: slides; lecture
notes; simulations; assessments or self-assessments; resource lists; images;
videos; web tutorials; virtual environments, etc., etc., etc.

Would you like to win a £30 Amazon voucher?

The JISC-funded CD-LOR and RepoMMan projects would like to invite you to spend
15 minutes completing our survey on your 'personal resource management
strategy', i.e. how you store and share resources during their development, and
during and after their delivery to students.  The survey is quick and easy to
complete; it uses Hull University's famous "card sort" Flash software.

The deadline for completing this survey is 19th May 2006.

We would like to find out about what you do, whether you are a technical
"newbie" who has only just learned to use PowerPoint; or someone who just
distributes all of your lecture notes and references in a Word document; or
someone who is now getting excited (or disappointed) about the different kinds
of resources you can share via your university or college VLE; or someone who
creates simulations, equations, virtual teaching spaces, SCORM content, LAMS or
IMS LD learning activity designs, or complex interactive web resources; or
anyone else who develops teaching and learning resources of any kind.


More detailed information about this survey:


The survey is being carried out by two projects of the JISC Digital Repositories
Programme: RepoMMan and CD-LOR.

 

The University of Hull's RepoMMan project aims to develop a software tool that
will enable researchers to work with a digital repository.

 

The CD-LOR project (based at the Universities of Strathclyde and Dundee) is
investigating the social, cultural and pedagogical factors that influence use of
repositories within a range of different learning communities.

 

Both projects are interested in investigating current personal resource
management strategies and practices of potential repository users: researchers,
teachers, educational developers, learning technologists and support staff.
This survey is looking in particular at the development of resources for
teaching and learning.  It is based on an earlier RepoMMan survey, which looked
at the research development process from inception of a research idea through to
final publication.  A report on that survey is available on the RepoMMan
website.    
 
The results of this survey, together with information from personal interviews
with stakeholders, will help us determine how individuals find, create, store
and share their educational resources and how they collaborate on the
development of these resources with colleagues in their departments,
institutions, subject area and beyond.  For the purposes of this survey,
‘educational resources’ include anything that may be used in teaching and
learning, e.g. simple information assets like images or video clips,
assessments, lecture notes, PowerPoint slides, Flash files, learning activity
designs, lesson plans, simulations, etc.
 
This survey may be filled out anonymously.  However, contributors who include
their name and e-mail address will be entered for a prize draw; the first two
names picked out will receive a £30 Amazon voucher.
Regards,

--
