[Using Sakai] [DG: Teaching & Learning] Learning Activities Investigation: Adventures with Human Subjects Research

[Robin Hill]

In anticipation of these upcoming discussions, I urge all of us to 
contact our Institutional Review Boards for clearance regarding this 
research.

My university adopted stricter guidlines just a couple of weeks ago(!), 
and I was surprised to find this project classified as Expedited (but 
not Exempt) research, which mandates that I complete the CITI 
certification and get consent forms before I conduct interviews.

I'm in the process of meeting those requirements right now, but they are 
not trivial, and I'm glad that I filed our eleven-point proposal as soon 
as I did, giving time for a revision.  I will share my text for the 
proposal with anyone interested, if it helps you; it's mostly taken from 
the web pages written by Keli and Jackie.  (You'll have to do the CITI 
modules on your own!)
