Survey Results

Two surveys were run during the Ubuntu lecture. Survey 1 had 4 questions (administered in Zoom at the start of the lecture) and survey 2 had 15 questions (administered in Zoom at the end of the lecture). We are looking for a member of the ASWDNet or ASSWA to analyse the data and publish a paper in one of the journals that we work with. If you are interested, please email Rugare, rugare@africasocialwork.net. The graph below summarises the quantitative data but there is also qualittaive data that needs to be organised and analysed.
