Dear Colleague,

Thank you very much for your interest in our CD-ROM based case study.  Our goal in designing and developing this case was to provide a resource for teacher educators interested in bringing the realities of mathematics classrooms into focus for pre-service teachers. We would like your feedback, comments, and suggestions on all aspects of the design, and your views of  potential use. We appreciate the extra time this may take to complete!

Part I of this survey relates to your views of the Making Weighty Decisions CD you have recently received for preview.

Part II of the this survey relates to your views of how we could expand the design template to make a generalized tool for generating case studies based on the input of any digitized video and accompanying text transcript
