Pre-Questionnaire for teaching pilots (IST–2001–38786 IDCnet)

Introduction

This brief questionnaire has been developed by the IDCnet project, an European Union project which is promoting the concept of Design for All, or Inclusive Design, for information and communication technologies. We would like to identify the knowledge, skills and attitudes of students towards Design for All before this module begins. A similar questionnaire will then be administered later to see if and how your views may have changed. This form is not active online. It is only offered as an example.
