1. Invitation
You are invited to participate in research about the Understanding Traumatic Brain
Injury (TBI) Massive Open Online Course (TBI MOOC). We believe that continuous
and ongoing information from participants is necessary to ensure that the course is
well designed, the content is relevant, the learning environment is easy to navigate
and the method of teaching works for participants. Our commitment to providing a
high-quality course means we would like to analyse a range of information generated
during the course, including enrolment information, surveys, quizzes, discussion
forum posts and your feedback to us on the course via survey, discussion forum or
email.

3. Why have I been invited to participate?
You have been invited to participate because you have enrolled in the
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) MOOC. The information gained from
participants undertaking this course will be an important measure of the
effectiveness of this learning system and our educational approach. The results will
guide future directions of online teaching.
Whether you consent to participate in the research or not, your participation in this
course will form the basis of non-identifiable statistical data relating to, for example,
numbers of participants in the course, types of questions that participants had
difficulty with etc. This information will assist us to, for example, work out how many
MOOC participants complete the course, and which questions we might need to
revise to assist with learning.
