Information Gathering

We are carrying out a survey to gather initial information on how technology is currently being used in education. For this purpose, we are asking teachers/instructors in schools, colleges, libraries, and universities to complete a short questionnaire, which is available from this website in the Documents and Reports section. If you are involved in education and have an opinion on how technology can best be used to aid learning processes then we would like to invite you to complete our questionnaire.
