Idea: Where bold ideas germinate

THE QUESTIONS

This survey should take less than eight minutes to complete. All questions are optional, so please skip any question to which you don’t know the answer.

If you are involved in multiple projects, please respond considering your most recent large project. Your personal information will be held in strict confidence, never to be shared with a third party. Your responses will only be reported as aggregate data, not as individual responses. If you supply your email at the end, we will send you a copy of the study results, so you can see how your answers compare to those from other respondents.

TAKE THE SURVEY AND HELP A CHILD

IDEA has a passion for using information systems to facilitate interactive learning, and supports the mission of One Laptop per Child, an organization that has developed low-cost, innovative laptops to help educate children in emerging nations. We will donate one dollar to OLPC for every completed survey we receive, and hope that the survey responses will enable us to sponsor several laptops for kids.
