User experience is a bit of a theme in this blog and DLT would like to invite Lancaster University staff who use Moodle<\/strong> to complete a short survey on their experience (link to survey below!). It will not take more than 5-10 minutes of your time. We are advertising in lots of spaces to get as many responses as possible! A student survey is on the horizon but this one is just for staff at the moment.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All respondents will remain anonymous. Opinions expressed in this survey will be used to inform future decision making around Moodle developments and training at Lancaster University. The survey is open until<\/strong> 3rd November 2023<\/strong>. Some questions are optional and do not require a response. If you wish to withdraw from the survey after you have completed it, please get in touch with me, Liz Walkden. There is an invitation at the end to be involved in future focus groups if you are interested.<\/div>\n
