<div>We thought we should let you know how we have decided to proceed with the National Survey of Basic Writing. Deborah and I have discussed the feedback we received from you and how to deal with the various issues you raised. We want to use Survey Monkey and see what kind of response we get from institutions across the country. Deborah and I will be meeting later in the summer to work out all the details and then will send the survey after classes have resumed in the fall--probably about the 3rd week of September. At that point, we'll need your help in encouraging people to take a few minutes to fill it out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the meantime, we send you our best wishes for a productive and enjoyable summer.</div>

<div>Hello everyone,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Using the comments we received at the CBW workshop in March and with excellent assistance from Kelly Ritter, we have streamlined the National Survey of Basic Writing to make it more user friendly and quicker and easier to complete. Again in response to feedback at the workshop, we've decided to put it up on Survey Monkey; you should be able to preview it by clicking on the link below. Please feel free to let us know if you have questions, comments, or suggestions. Bear in mind that we're limited to 10 questions, but we do hope to be able to get more detailed information from respondents who fill out the form at the end.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is our first experience with Survey Monkey, so also let us know if you encounter any technical problems. Once we're sure the Survey is in its final form, we will decide on the most effective way to disseminate it.</div>
