Survey on Your Spiritual Learning Experiences

You are invited to take this survey about your spiritual learning experiences!

This is a needs assessment for my capstone (final project) in my Masters degree in Instructional Design and Technology.

I will be developing a hybrid online/in-person course for ‘spiritual seekers’ – probably about Spiritual Integration – based on the results I receive. In return for taking the survey I will give you a discount when it is ready in 2021.

This survey will take 15-40 minutes depending upon how thoughtful your answers to open-ended questions. I love long answers!

This survey is completely confidential. Names will be stripped from the data when I show it to my teachers and I will not be posting or sharing your comments anywhere.

Thank you for participating!
