Originally, the Analysis component of the Simulated Meeting included options for users to contribute their responses to a database. This functionality was later migrated to a "Survey" component due to its significantly different focus and complex implementation. Its objective is to provide information (from analysis-type activities) within the broader context of department, institution and national trends. It will be optional for learners. The first testing of the prototype is intended for a select group of users who will be asked to do the survey.
