UWM Podcasting Survey Instructions Informed Consent Information

I am Tanya Joosten of the Learning Technology Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. We are conducting a study of how podcasting and rich digital media (digital audio and video) impact teaching and student learning. We would appreciate your participation in this study, as it will assist us in making recommendations for improving the teaching of students throughout the UWM campus.

If you agree to be in this study, you will be asked to fill out one online survey and to answer several questions about your experience in using podcasting and rich digital media that will take 15-20 minutes to complete. There are no known risks associated with your being in the study. Possible benefits are that you will have a voice in helping shape the instruction that students receive.

The questionnaire you fill out will be treated confidentially. YOUR NAME WILL NOT BE LINKED IN ANYWAY TO YOUR SURVEY RESPONSES. Data from this study may be published in professional journals. Only grouped data will be presented or published. As an online participant in this research, there is always the risk of intrusion by outside agents, i.e., hacking, and therefore the possibility of being identified. Your username that is requested is forwarded to your instructor for extra credit purposes only and will not be linked to your responses.

By checking the box below, you are stating that you are at least of 18 years of age and understand that any information about you will be treated in a confidential manner and that the data collected and the results obtained will be used for research purposes only. Your name and initials will never be used to report any results of the projects. You understand that the records and data files related to this research project will be maintained in the UWM Learning Technology Center for a period no longer than ten years and that only personnel directly associated with this project will have access to them.

You understand that you may refuse to participate in this study or withdraw at any time without penalty. You understand that you may be withdrawn from this study by the investigators if you do not meet the screening criteria. You understand that, should you withdraw or be withdrawn from the study, any information that you have provided will be destroyed.

This study has been explained to you and your questions have been answered. If you have additional questions, you may contact the principal investigator:

Once the study is completed, we would be glad to give the results to you. In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact me:
