> ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
>
> Dear colleague,
>
> As a highly regarded member of the community of language-teaching
> academics across the UK, you are invited to contribute to our research
> into current practice and attitudes to e-learning. With the rapid
> take-up of social networking tools by students, we feel that a
> snapshot
> of current practice is essential to understanding learners* and
> teachers* needs, and essential in pointing towards where future
> developments should go in the field of e-learning. One such
> development
> currently underway is the FAROES online language repository, a digital
> space where language tutors will be able to store, manage and share
> their resources, making use of the best practice principles that web
> 2.0
> technologies have to offer. FAROES is a project funded by JISC, whose
> outputs will be freely available to all in the community.
>
> To respond to current needs and create the best possible service, your
> feedback is essential. Please fill out a short questionnaire by
> following this link:
> http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/60504/e-learning-attitudes-and-practices-within-the-language-teaching-community
>
>
> Please note that the questionnaire will only take 5 to10 minutes to
> complete. Participation is voluntary. As a respondent, you will remain
> anonymous throughout and no attempt will be made to find the source of
> any response. Answering of all questions is not compulsory. You will
> be
> able to view and edit the entire questionnaire before submitting it
> but,
> given the anonymity of participation, withdrawing data from the survey
> will not be possible once the questionnaire is submitted. The source
> of
> individual responses is of no interest to the research team, who only
> need to gain an overall picture of the degree of integration of
> e-learning in the delivery of MFL courses in HE. Identifying
> institutions or individual teaching staff is irrelevant throughout the
> research, including the dissemination of results (possibly at a
> national
> conference and/or as a journal contribution).
>
> We hope that you are willing to contribute to a project from which the
> whole community will benefit, and we would like to thank you in
> advance
> for responding to the questionnaire. Your contribution is very much
> appreciated.
