Educator research study

How do you actually run a course?

We are researching how educators organise materials, answer questions outside class, form groups, and work out where learners are struggling. Not what tools should do — what yours currently do, and where that costs you.

75 questions · 11 sections · about 12–15 minutes

Who this is for

Anyone who directly teaches, tutors, coordinates, or supports learners: university and polytechnic lecturers, school teachers, private tutors, learning-centre instructors, online course creators, teaching assistants, programme coordinators, and academic-support staff. If you spend part of your week keeping a course running, you are who we mean.

What we ask about

  • How you organise a course today

    Where materials live, how learners get them, and how many tools it takes to keep one class running.

  • Questions outside class time

    How learners reach you, how much of your week it takes, and how often you answer the same thing twice.

  • What you can and cannot see

    How you work out whether a topic landed, and how you find out which parts of a course need rewriting.

  • Peer learning and group work

    How groups get formed, what makes them work, and how hard that is at scale.

  • AI, as you currently use it

    What you already use it for, what you would not use it for, and what would have to be true before it went near your learners.

What taking part involves

Anonymous by default
No account, no name, no institution required. Contact details are asked once at the end, are optional, and are stored apart from your answers.
Stop whenever you like
Every section saves as you go, and a part-finished response is still useful to us. Nothing is lost if you close the tab at question forty.
Research, not a sales call
We are testing whether a real problem exists and how it is handled today, not asking you to approve an idea. Answers that tell us we are wrong are worth more than the ones that agree.
No student data
Please describe your own work, not individual learners. The questionnaire never asks for student names or confidential institutional information.

How we handle what you send is covered in our privacy policy. Questions about the study itself can go to research@maigie.com.

Twelve minutes, and you can stop anywhere.

The behavioural questions come first, so even a partial response tells us something worth knowing.
