18.  Consent Form:
 I am a student at Walden University, and I am conducting interviews for my Multimedia Presentation on Obsolete and
Emerging Technology. I am studying new emerging technology used in classrooms to help students review and prepare for
test and exams.
During this study, you will be asked to answer some questions as to your opinion of this new emerging technology and the
technology it replaced. This interview was designed to be approximately twenty minutes in length. However, please feel
free to expand on the topic or talk about related ideas. Also, if there are any questions you would rather not answer or that
you do not feel comfortable answering, please say so and we will stop the interview or move on to the next question,
whichever you prefer.
 All the information will be kept confidential. I will keep the data in a secure place. Only I, members of my course, and the
course instructor, Dr. David Thornburg, will have access to this information. Upon completion of this project, all data will be
destroyed or stored in a secure location.
 Participant's Agreement:
I am aware that my participation in this interview is voluntary. I understand the intent and purpose of this research. If, for
any reason, at any time, I wish to stop the interview, I may do so without having to give an explanation.
I am aware the data will be used in an Emerging Technology Project. I have the right to review, comment on, and/or
withdraw information prior to the Project's submission. The data gathered in this study is confidential with respect to my
personal identity unless I specify otherwise. I understand if I say anything that I believe may incriminate myself, the
interviewer will immediately rewind the tape and record over the potentially incriminating information. The interviewer will
then ask me if I would like to continue the interview.
If I have any questions about this study, I am free to contact the course instructor at Walden University.
I have been offered a copy of this consent form that I may keep for my own reference.
I have read the above form and, with the understanding that I can withdraw at any time and for whatever reason, I consent
to participate in the interview.
