Hurray! The most scariest day has come: the survey is launched!

On the 4th of August 2011 our first survey instrument was finally launched. After months of drafting and redrafting and piloting and reviewing and modifying the survey, the moment has finally arrived! The survey is accessible here.

The first invitations went to approximately 150 handpicked academics at Higher Education institutions in South Africa. However, the team members also forwarded the invitation to their personal contacts and mailing lists.

Lets see how the responses will be!
