INFORMED CONSENT TO PARTICIPATE IN AN ONLINE SURVEY
You are invited to participate in a research study that is being conducted by Laura Heimlich, who is a doctoral candidate in The Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University. The purpose of this research is to determine 1) professional teacher and behavioral consultant perceptions and practices regarding the integration of digital media technology into classroom-based instruction, and 2) the potential utility of the Common Core Digital Media Website (CCDMI) as a resource for professional educators and behavioral consultants.
Approximately two hundred (200) subjects will participate in the study and each individual's participation will last approximately ten (10) minutes.
Participation in this study will involve the following: providing online informed consent, responding to online survey items, viewing a website and completing further survey items regarding the website and employment demographic information.
This research is confidential. Confidential means that the research records will include some information about you and this information will be stored in such a manner as to protect your privacy. Some of the information collected about you includes your professional email address and employment demographics. Your responses to survey items will be completely confidential. We will NOT know your IP address when you respond to the online survey. Your name and email address will NOT be stored with data from your survey. The researchers will NOT be able to link your professional email address to your individual survey responses and the results. Instead, you will be assigned a computer generated participant number. This number will be kept securely by the research team only until study completion. Once this research project is complete, your professional email address will be shredded and no link between the survey data and identity will exist. The survey software that you will be using includes a Secure Socket Layer (SSL). SSL is a cryptographic protocol that provides communication security over the internet. SSL provides a reasonable guarantee that one is communicating with precisely the web site that one intended to communicate with (as opposed to an impostor) as well as ensuring that the content of communications between the user and site cannot be read or forged by any third party.
The research team and the Institutional Review Board at Rutgers University are the only parties that will be allowed to see the data, except as may be required by law. If a report of this study is published, or the results are presented at a professional conference, only group results will be stated. All study data will be kept for a minimum of three years.
There are no foreseeable risks to participate in this study except for the remote possibility that your professional email address would be inadvertently disclosed. However, the principal investigator has put in place adequate protection for your privacy in that all information provided will be kept confidential by using a randomly generated number code in place of your email address. If you feel uncomfortable with a survey item you can skip that item or withdraw from the study all together by using the "exit survey" option. If you decide to quit at any time before you have finished the survey, your answers will NOT be recorded.
There are potential benefits from your participation in this study. You will be provided with hyperlinked access to the Common Core Digital Media Index (CCDMI), a resource that has been designed for the purpose of providing teachers and behavioral consultants with user-friendly access to digital media resources that are indexed according to Common Core State Standards. These resources may be used for the purpose of supporting Common Core instruction in general and special education classrooms.
Participation in this study is voluntary. You may choose not to participate, and you may withdraw at any time during the study procedures without any penalty to you. In addition, you may choose not to answer any questions with which you are not comfortable.
If you have any questions about the study or study procedures, you may contact myself at [email protected] or (732)445-5384.
