Somehow I neglected to put it on my calendar. I understand that you still want information on technology needs of special populations. Right now I have anedoctal data and before collecting hard data I need to make sure I do not duplicate or interfere with other efforts. The best way for me to get some useful data is to conduct a survey. It would be easy to get this information on a significant number of Black students. I have already contacted faculty in Black Studies requesting help with administering a short survey to their classes. We could easily get data from 100+ Black students from those classes which represent a little more than 10% of the Black student population. I am preparing my annual fall mailing to students with disabilities, so I can collect information from that group. The nontraditional students maybe a little harder to assess, but I can get a lot of anedoctal inforamtion. Should I proceed? Will this interfere with the other survey?
