BBC want volunteers (London 14/11) Update
« on: Friday 06 November 09 18:21 UTC (UK) »
Hi I've had a request from a lady at the BBC who wants volunteers  Cheesy
I asked if it was OK to post on websites and she was quite happy so here goes,

So lovely to speak to you just now. I'm attaching the flyer here, so that you have all the information to hand.
If you could spread the word among the web communites you're part of that would be truly fantastic! Feel free to pass on my email,

cathy.edwards[at]bbc.co.uk

and my direct line at work, 0208 0083985.

We're also looking for people with less experience on the web, so do all get your less web savvy friends and family to sign up too! Here's the information they need:

We're looking for participants to take part in a fun, 15 minute test as part of our series Digital Revolution (www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution) - from a range of ages: 12 year olds, 18 year olds, 25–34, 45–54, and 65-74.

The test forms part of the 4th programme in the Digital Revolution series, 'The Web and Us', which looks at the fascinating question on whether (and how) the web has affected our thoughts and behaviour: www.bbc.co.uk/digitalrevolution/makingofprog4.shtml. We're backing a piece of scientific research to get some objective data on how people think when they're searching the web, and are working closely with University College London's department of CIBER Research, who are leading researchers in this field.

They'll run the test at a bank of computers in their lab on Saturday 14th November 2009 between 9am and 11am

at UCL in the DMS Watson Science Library (Malet Place, London WC1E 6BT).

She wanta about 100 people and you DON'T have to be there exactlly at 9am Smiley

I'm not sure , they didn't give a reason on the day.
It was a wet and windy day and standing on those steps was not the best thing for someone like me with vertigo!
If was fun though and I'm looking forward to the programme (not sure when it is though)
