Dear Colleagues,

Virtually (no pun intended) all of you have had some involvement with the virtual sandbox including those doing the disseminating and the development of this delightful teaching aid. This means you have now had an experience with playing with the LIDAR (the X-box Kinect) and actively using it to map the 3-D topography of the changing sand surface.

The sandbox was created by a $500 Teaching for Impact Grant in partnership with the Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education Project (TILT Higher Ed).

We are making an important contribution to promoting successful learning/teaching experiences and to improving higher education nationally with the use of this tool.

Please take a moment (9 - 11 minutes) to respond to this anonymous online survey about your learning experiences with the virtual sandbox which will provide important data for this project. Thank you for your contribution to our Department and University, and to national research on higher education.
