IONiC/VIPEr Survey

We are currently collecting data on the use of VIPEr materials in support of a future grant proposal.  Please help keep this community functioning by taking a few minutes to respond. You can access the survey through this link.  All answers are anonymous, but you have the option at the end of the survey to give us permission to quote you.

If you are a registered VIPEr faculty user, you may have already taken this survey.  Thank you for your help!
