SurveyMonkey Powered Online Survey

Hi, thanks for visiting our response form about the Social Reporting pilot 2012 call for writers. We hope you are well and having a good day, and are happy that you are interested in taking part.

This is not a test. This form is here to collect your responses based on a set of criteria to find a range of social reporters for the pilot. We'd like to get the widest feedback and findings possible before deciding what to do next. So we are looking for a range of people from different:

Locations
Environments
Ages
Technical competences
Transition experiences
Interests

This will take you five minutes maximum. We do ask for a URL of your writing, and a short bio, so recommend you dig something out before doing the survey...

A 'not negotiable' is that you want to take part in a collaborative learning project, to share your stories, find new ways of telling them, and learn more about the whole 'social media' thing. All the content will be publicly available as per the Creative Commons licence for the site.

Right then, let's go...
