Dear workshop participant,

Thank you for participating in the workshop on online assessment systems for computer science and mathematics!

You are now invited to complete a short survey. In this survey, you will be asked to provide some brief background about yourself and your teaching, and then you will be asked a few questions about the workshop and its impact. It will take approximately ten minutes for you to complete the survey.

Your participation in this study is completely voluntary. If you feel uncomfortable answering any questions, you can withdraw from the survey at any point.

Your individual survey responses will be strictly confidential.

If you have questions at any time about the survey, please do not hesitate to contact Christelle ([email protected]), Olly ([email protected]),Andy ([email protected]) or Richard ([email protected]).

Thank you very much for your participation.

Christelle, Olly, Andy and Richard
