The purpose of this post is to ask for your participation in a research study that investigates the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework and its effect on student knowledge sharing behavior within online learning environments. *If you do decide to participate, you can enter for a chance to win a $100 Amazon gift card.* Before participating in this survey, please ensure that you meet the following criteria: - You are a graduate student, enrolled in a school of education. - You have taken at least one online course related to the field of education. The survey, which will take approximately 20 minutes to complete, is hosted in a free version of SurveyGizmo, and will collect your perceptions on social, cognitive, and teacher presence, as well as your knowledge-sharing behavior, within your online course. The survey is set up to be completely anonymous ? your name, IP address, or email will not be attached to your survey. SurveyGizmo is a safe and secure site, as outlined in its Privacy Policy , which applies to all of their products and services. The Privacy Policy states that data collected in surveys is owned by the researcher. SurveyGizmo does not sell data collected in surveys. Extensive security measures are in place to protect any collected data, including firewalls and unique usernames and passwords. Anonymous surveys do not store identifying information, including Geodata, IP addresses, email invite data, and the Status Log will not include Response IDs. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1853465/Online-Knowledge-Sharing-and-the-CoI-Framework To enter the drawing to win a $100 gift card to Amazon.com, click the *Enter to Win* link at the end of the survey and provide your email address. The *Enter to Win* page is separate from the main survey and is not connected to your survey responses, so your survey responses will still be anonymous. Your email address will not be shared or distributed, and will be stored in the researcher?s password-protected computer. Only the researcher will have access to this data. Please note, surveys must be completed online; paper-form surveys will not be made available in order to ensure anonymity. This study has been approved by Duquesne University Institutional Review Board. Thank you for considering to participate! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
