		<description><![CDATA[The interview question I have sent has proven to be a difficult one for the learners to answer overall. It is not easy for many to think of a specific experience. 
So I have decided to change it and send it to new interviewees.

The new question is:

Bummer. Noticed a typo error on one of the survey questions. The following first choice of the question should read :&#8221;text-based&#8221;, not &#8220;test-based&#8221;.
&#8212;
In the context of learning your current subject, which do you prefer? (Select all that apply)
-Read test-based materials (e.g. book or article)
-Talk to friends
-Listen to a lecture or an audiotape or CD
-Watch tv [...]]]></description>

What I am thinking now is to offer every [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Currently, I am trying to come up with some suitable questions to include in the online survey. It&#8217;s not an easy task but I am certainly becoming clearer on the focus of my research by reading some of the literature to do with online learning and thinking through what it is exactly that I want to know.
Basically, I am looking [...]]]></description>
