Greetings: You are invited to participate in an on-line survey and be part of a research project to explore various aspects of Internet use by college instructors. The survey will take about 10 - 15 minutes to complete. All of your answers are completely confidential. Responses are analyzed only in the aggregate, and are never linked to the individual completing the survey. No identifying information is required to complete this survey, other than basic demographic characteristics. Most questions give you response categories from which to choose. Others are followed by a blank text area where you can write your answers. If you have any questions about this survey, or concerns about confidentiality, please contact the Principal Investigator, Steve Jones, at sjones@uic.edu. The research protocol has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The URL for the survey is http://info.comm.uic.edu:8080/001survey/ If you know of colleagues who might also take this survey, or of faculty email lists to which you would feel comfortable informing subscribers of it, please forward this email and include this message. Thank you. Steve Jones Professor of Communication University of Illinois at Chicago and Senior Research Fellow Pew Internet & American Life Project
