January 31, 2020

We would like to invite you to participate in an anonymous online survey that investigates how Australia-based university lecturers are currently using feature films and TV series (FF/TV) in teaching. 
This survey is a part of an ongoing PhD research study that works towards improving the efficacy of FF/TV in higher education pedagogies. Your experience in teaching with FF/TV, however much or little, will be valuable to this research. 

Further participant information and the survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FFTVEDUFINAL 

Thank you for your time. Please feel free to forward this to other lecturers.
