    PARTICIPANT INFORMATION FORM

    You are invited to participate in a study where you will be asked to provide feedback about your participation
    in the teaching initiative introduced this trimester entitled “Gamification in Accounting: enhancing the learning
    experience of Accounting students in a Master program”.

    What does the research involve?


    Your lecturers in ACCT5432 will be using Quitch, a smartphone application, as a teaching tool in the unit. You
    will be invited to download the Quitch App and receive daily multiple-choice questions from the unit
    coordinator relating to the most recent topics covered in the unit. Points will be awarded for each answer and
    a leader board will be established for participating students. Various performance badges can be earned.

    What are you asked to do?


    In addition to downloading the App and completing the daily question, you will be invited to complete a survey
    before and after the unit. The first survey asks questions about your preference for learning methods (e.g.
    seminars, teamwork, etc.), previous study and your confidence in outcomes for the unit. The second survey
    will ask questions about how you used the App.
    You may also be asked to participate in a focus group which will enable a group discussion to provide feedback
    on suitability of the App in MPA-level classes. The focus group will run for approximately 60 minutes and will
    be scheduled online and on the Crawley campus. We will provide more details in an email invitation about the
    venue etc. closer to the time. As a token of thanks for participating in the focus group you will receive a Co-op
    book voucher.

    What other data will be collected?


    We will seek your permission to access other data that will help us investigate the role of the App with your
    survey responses and your performance in the unit. We will use your student ID to link these.
    Data will only be accessed AFTER the unit is completed. Further, a staff member not involved with teaching the
    unit or with the research project will collate the required information and then remove your student ID before
    providing it to the researchers.

    Do I have to participate and what happens if I don’t?


    As with the Quitch-application itself (where participation is voluntary) participating in this study is also
    voluntary. There is no relationship between participation in this project and the grade you are awarded for this
    unit. As noted above all data is accessed AFTER the unit is completed and identifying information is removed.
    Participants can withdraw from the study at any time, without any consequences.

    How data is managed


    As per UWA’s data management policy, a copy of the data will be kept for seven years from completion of the
    project. A copy of the data, excluding any identifying information, will be stored on UWA’s Institutional
    Research Data Store.

    How will the research be reported?


    The results of the study will be submitted for publications, but your responses will not be individually
    identifiable. Only aggregated results will be reported.

    I am happy to answer any further questions you may have about the study. Please telephone or email me at the
    above number/address. If you are able to participate in the study, please acknowledge your consent by selecting
    the “Yes”-option when requested in the online survey.

    Thank you for your participation.
