Dear Dr. Moore,

I am writing to ask whether you would be willing to pass along the email below to instructional designers who may also be interested in learning about the research study titled "Design Thinking Across Different Design Disciplines: A Qualitative Approach" for possible participation.

Please feel free to contact me with questions, or have designers you know contact me themselves, using the contact information provided below.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Recruitment Email

Hello,

My name is Zeynep Ondin and I am a Ph.D. candidate at Virginia Tech. I am conducting a research entitled "Design Thinking Across Different Design Disciplines: A Qualitative Approach". The purpose of his study is to explore the design process of professionals from different design disciplines, in order to understand the similarities and differences between their process and design activities proposed by the design thinking approach. To this end I am looking for individuals to participate in my study.

If you agree to be in this study, I will conduct 60-minute online interview with you. The interview will be conducted at your convenience. The interview will include questions about your design process and challenges you face during designing. The interview will take approximately 60 minutes to complete and will be audio-recorded with your permission.

Rest assured that all of your answers will be confidential and I will make sure your name will not be revealed in any report related to this study. The study will conform to the policies regarding human subjects' research as mandated by the Institutional Review Board of Virginia Tech.

I am looking for individuals:

  *   Who are practicing designers in one of the following fields:
     *   instructional design, fashion design, or game design
  *   Who have at least five years of experience in designing

I encourage people of all genders and ethnicity to participate. If you are interested in participation in this study, please send me an email to zeynep at vt.edu<mailto:zeynep at vt.edu> for further information such as interview scheduling or any additional information that may aid you in making a decision about participating.

Additionally, if you know of other individuals fitting the criteria of joining the study, please forward this email to them. If you would prefer to discuss the study and/or your participation on the telephone, please call Zeynep Ondin (540-642-9049<tel:%28540-642-9049>).

Due to the limited time frame for the study completion, I earnestly hope to hear from you soon!

Sincerely,
Zeynep Ondin
