Online Student Journey Project - Staff Survey 2009

The Online Student Journey project has been funded by the University to apply interactive online tools to Student Services' programs and to train interested staff in using these tools to engage students.  We're aiming to add to the excellent programs and services we already offer by providing appropriate online options for students.  By responding to student needs and expectations, UWA Student Services can stay at the forefront of best practice where we belong!!

One of the things to happen under the project is this staff survey - aimed at identifying what skills are out there, what online tools are already being used and how interested people are in learning new ways to use emerging technologies.

The survey is pretty short - it should only take 10 minutes to complete, and to show our appreciation at this busy time there is a PRIZE to the value of $50 (you can choose to cash this in as champagne, book vouchers or anything else you fancy).

Finally, the survey asks you to enter your name and work area but you can be reassured that this information will be used only to award the prize and to follow-up with individuals who have specific requests.  Whenever the data is used (in reports, papers, presentations etc), all personal information will be removed - so feel free to be honest!  You can find out more about the project on the Journey Blog
