          <description><![CDATA[NRC researchers would like to invite Active Participants in PLENK2010 to fill out a survey on their experiences in this Massive Open Online Course. Active participants include learners who actively contributions to discussion forums in the course Moodle, blogs, twitter, social networking sites, and in the sharing and production of artifacts. The Active Participant Survey can be found here <a  href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JDC58ZM">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JDC58ZM</a>. <br/><br/>Also, NRC researchers would like to invite PLENK2010 Lurkers to fill out a survey on their experiences in this Massive Open Online Course. Lurking is defined in this context as passive attention, silent participation, and/or self-directed learning. There has been a lot of interesting discussion on the topic of lurking on the BlogSphere so we would like to explore the issues a bit more through this survey. The PLENK2010 Lurker survey can be found here <a  href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJ8ZXMC">http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JJ8ZXMC</a>.<br/><br/>The research team thanks you in advance for your invaluable contribution to the research! Contact Helene Fournier (<a  href="mailto:helene.fournier@nrc-cnrc.gc.c">helene.fournier@nrc-cnrc.gc.ca</a>) for any further inquiries about the surveys or the research.<br/>
