Dear participant,
My name is Athanasios Christopoulos and I am a postgraduate research student at the University of Bedfordshire, U.K.
I am conducting a study on virtual worlds and how they can be utilized for educational issues. The concern of the research is addressed to Second Life, a well-known Virtual World and OpenSim, a novel technology recently used by the public for the development of Virtual Worlds. Their characteristics and features will be examined from different points of view, aiming to provide clear guidance to educators who are on the verge of deciding to use them.
Hence, your valuable experience from using such a different learning method is extremely important as it will highlight and enlighten their potential and advantages, respectively.
Please, mention that your participation is voluntary and the collected records are part of the research database. However, you will not be asked to provide personal information unless that information is necessary for me to respond to your specific request.
The completion of the questionnaire will last approximately 5 – 10 minutes.
Three (3) of the participants will win a prize. If you wish to participate in the draw, fill in your e-mail address in Question 3.3 at the end of the questionnaire.
If you have any further questions, please, do not hesitate to contact me at [email protected]. |
