Quick survey on maker/hacker/crafts

IainML

I know, I know, I know. E-mail is full of 'please take just five minutes of your time to complete our survey' type requests. It's often a pain. Some are clearly a waste of time, but others might be valuable to someone, might help a struggling researcher complete their work or student get a qualification. Then when you do decide to help out by completing the form, some of the questions make you want to tear your hair out. 'No! That's a stupid way to phrase it' or 'Well I don't fit any of those categories'.

You know the feeling, I'm sure. The problem is what to do when you actually do have a survey that you need others to fill out? How can you persuade people to devote some of their attention towards some tickboxes and, even worse, writing some comments and suggestions? It's a tough one, because you sympathise but you need the data! You really need the data, because you are going to want to be able to make a difference to some proposed education reforms, to help future learners and to inform policy makers. What can you do? There's a deadline, there's a group of people in Europe waiting to hear from you. You need data!!

So, you're stuck then to grovelling, to asking really kindly, to hoping beyond hope that someone out there realizes that you are genuine and that this is worthwhile and that it also helps just to connect even for a few minutes with the wider community out there. You understand, don't you? You want to help, I can tell and I'm really grateful. You just click here.
