Shape1 TITLE OF INFORMATION COLLECTION:

Laboratory Methods for Detecting Rabies Virus Course Learner Feedback Survey


PURPOSE:


The Division of Laboratory Systems (DLS) at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) developed an intermediate-level live laboratory/lecture course with educational content relevant to laboratory scientists working in hospitals, reference laboratories, universities and public health settings. The course was offered free of charge at the CDC training laboratory during July 30 – August 3, 2018. The course content covered traditional rabies testing techniques, safety, specimen acquisition and preparation, rabies quality control, proficiency testing, standardized testing procedures, emerging technologies, and epidemiologic issues.


An email invitation to complete the Laboratory Methods for Detecting Rabies Course Learner Feedback Survey will be sent to learners who completed the live course. The email invitation will include clickable links to either proceed to the survey or unsubscribe (opt out). Learners may also opt out by not responding to the email. If learners click the link to begin the survey in the email, they will be taken to a Survey Monkey webpage housing the survey.


The information to be collected aims to understand to what extent the learners are able to use the content of the courses in their work settings. The survey questions will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Responses will be anonymous and no unique identifying information will be sought or kept. The feedback we receive will be used by our program in aggregate only. The learner feedback will help the continuous quality assurance of our instructional design process and inform updates to these courses in alignment with learners’ needs. Learner feedback will provide valuable insight on the instructional design of this laboratory/lecture course, which includes relevance and applicability of content.



DESCRIPTION OF RESPONDENTS:


This is a voluntary survey to collect information from the learners who completed the live Laboratory Methods for Detecting Rabies Virus laboratory/lecture course conducted July 30 – August 3, 2018 at the CDC training laboratory. These learners included laboratory scientists working in clinical, reference, university, and public health laboratories.
