University Student Survey - VLE's and anytime anywhere learning

[UniStudent123]

Good morning

 

I am a university student studying for my final year in computing, as part of my final project “Anytime,Anywhere, Any device learning in Secondary Education” I am required to survey a group of technical people about the use of VLE's as a remote learning tool

 

I would really appreciate it if you could spare some time do a quick survey. It should take less than 5 minutes of your time

 

Click Here to take the survey

 

Many thanks in advance for your time, any feedback on the survey greatly appreciated also

I was willing to provide answers, right up until you asked for the last two digits of my mobile number and my mothers maiden name...

Those last 2 questions are a privacy killer... although we could just lie which kind of invalidates your survey

Hi Guys - I completely understand the comments about the last two questions, unfortunately I have to give all respondants the ability to withdraw their information should they choose to after they've submitted in order to meet our ethics criteria

 

In order to meet ethics guidelines there needs to be a method of identifying a particular response without being able to identify the person from that response, two digits from a mobile number and mothers maiden name would make it very difficult for me to identify people from across the country whilst making it very easy for you to contact me later and provide me with the same information

 

We did look at other ways of identifying people but this is how the ethics committee would like it to be done (unique record number for each response could be lost/forgotten, make up your own code could easily result in duplicates).

 

I will pass back the feedback, anyone who gives false information on that last page, I have no way of checking up so that is entirely up to you (I cannot condone it obviously) but please remember what information you gave in case you do decide to withdraw from the survey

 

Many thanks to everyone who has already responded, I am already getting a good spread of data.

 

Also, well done to the person who managed to beat my data validation for the mobile phone number question. It's nice to know that some thought went into that one, this isn't a challenge for everyone else though

I've done it, but yeah like others have said - certainly not giving my mothers maiden name.

 

Sorry to be offensive but I still don't understand why you need this as a "Unique" ID. Could even ask for my first name and initials.

mthomas08 the reason he needs it is that whenever you do any kind of research at university level it has to be approved by an ethics board.

 

What the ethics board says is what you have to do.

 

They have asked him to use data that you would easily remember but he couldn't use to trace you, so he couldn't ask for your name for example.

 

However I agree whilst two digits of a mobile number would be ok, I wouldn't be happy giving my mother's maiden name but unfortunately the OP is caught between a rock and a hard place.
