Informed Consent Form
My name is Vanessa Wright. I am a doctoral student at Northcentral University. I am conducting a research study on traditional face-to-face learners who used online education, during Covid-19, as a medium to advance.

The intent of this research study is to consider what students experienced when they were converted to online math courses, and to gain a thorough understanding of their opinions and approaches. I am completing this research as part of my doctoral degree. Your participation is completely voluntary.

Participation in this research includes responding to a survey or an online interview using Skype, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, Watsapp or any other online video conferencing software, and should take approximately 15 minutes.

I am seeking your consent to involve you and your information in this study. Reasons you might ​not want to participate in the study include you might think that your academics might suffer, by participating. Reasons you might want to participate in the study include you might want to build your own skills for graduate or a professional school. An alternative to this study is simply not participating. I am here to address your questions or concerns during the informed consent process.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at V.Wright2004@o365.ncu.edu.
