 * Q7 “Ask All” - Are you currently involved with the OERu network? Maybe add an option for response ‘a bit’ - for example, I was a virtual participant in the meeting and get all updates and lurk like crazy – but not sure I would say YES to the question which would then ‘cut me out of’ the other flow on questions.

Overall comments

 * Can a roll over pop up box be incorporated with definitions / explanations of terms if people need them and / or to ensure everyone has a common understanding in this context. Kathleenz
 * Can there be a comment box under each question for people to add info if they want / need. Kathleenz
 * I definitely think a final question “is there anything else you’d like to say / tell us” would be good to capture those last comments and questions etc – and / or maybe even an option to upload or incorporate a voice response / comment. (if the above is too hard or messy I understand) Kathleenz
 * Cheers and thanks for the opportunity --Kathleenz 00:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC) (By the way I just had to re-do all of the above as someone else edited the page during my update and all that I wrote was ‘lost’. Most people probably know this but maybe a note to save edits in a word document first might be handy ) '' Sorry about that Kathleenz - Its not necessary, the wiki provides instructions if there is an edit conflict. The problem is that sometimes newbies don't read the instructions on screen ;-). I'll check if I can trace any "lost" edits in the history. --Wayne Mackintosh 01:53, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
