Evaluation questionnaire "Computer-based learning"

This questionnaire covers items about your views on computer-based learning as well as attitudes in general and your living situation. The goal of this online survey is to get a better idea for whom computer-based learning is a suitable learning instrument and for whom it isn't.

When you have finished filling out the questionnaire, please press "Submit". Only then will your data be transmitted to the server.

Any information you supply for this survey is of course voluntary. Since your information helps us in improving our planning, we ask you to take the time to fill out the questionnaire completely and with care.

Remarks concerning the course, general feedback:

Student ID:

Why do we ask for your student ID? One year from now, we will ask you again to fill out a questionnaire. Your student ID would enable us to combine these two surveys. The student ID will be saved in an uni-directionally encrypted form so that one cannot deduce the actual ID from the saved value. The data will not be given to other people. Your information will be treated with the greatest condifentiality.

Prompt for confirmation to prevent premature submission of the questionnaire*
