Hi guys,
Are you interested in helping me help LDR couples?
Anyone who is now or was once involved in an LDR can me update the technology section of my modest little book The Long Distance Relationship Guidebook. Right now, I'm in the process of gathering data to update that section and others, and I would really appreciate any ideas you might have have about personalizing technological communication in an LDR.
I'm particularly interested in which apps you use and how you use them to feel more connected with your partner. But actually, I'm interested in any information you are willing to share.
I'm attaching my 2-page survey so that you can scan and email, or simply type the info into a gmail at sylviashipp. To make things easy, I'm also posting the survey below. Download General LDR SURVEY 1-27-13
LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP (LDR) SURVEY
Hi, my name is Sylvia Shipp and I’m interested in hearing about how you use technology to communicate with your partner (or friends & family) back home.
Your name will be kept private if you wish; however, some of your comments may be included in the revised version of The Long Distance Relationship Guidebook.
This survey may take 10-20 minutes. Thank you for your time!
Two ways to send your information:
- Scan and attach this survey to an email to me at sylviashipp (at) gmail.com
- Write your response directly into an email to me.
