[Air-l] online supervision

[Ben Davidson]

Last Summer, I put a questionnaire online to get an idea what sort of
serious interest there might be from members of this list and a few
others in receiving and offering online clinical supervision.

At the same time I started putting a research team together to look
at online supervision.

I am delighted to say that the Online-supervision.net Research Team
have now reached a key stage in their work.

With virtually no publicity, we have had over 100 people from fifteen
countries register on the online-supervision.net website, submitting an
extensive questionnaire that captures their particular interest in providing
or receiving online supervision.

We have worked with commercial sponsors who have enabled the first
phase development of a website and relational database application that
will facilitate matching, introduction and communication between
would-be supervisors and would-be supervisees.  This is now almost
ready to be launched.

And we have also been developing a formal research proposal into online
supervision which we will soon submit for ethics committee approval.  A
first draft of this can be viewed on the online-supervision.net website.

If you have already registered an interest in this venture, you will around
now be receiving an e-mail from the Online-Supervsiion.net Research
team, asking you to review the details you supplied when you first
registered and provide some further information relating to your
professional qualifications and experience, for authentication purposes
and to help us match you with other site users.

If you have not yet registered, but think you might be interested in the
work we are doing, please feel free to do so at the URL below.

I would be extremely grateful for all feedback any of you are willing to
offer, when you visit or revisit the website, regarding usability, design,
functionality or indeed anything else.

Cheers,

Ben


PS to those of you who e-mailed support at online-supervision.net,
wondering what was happening, I'm sorry about the wait and hope the
Online-supervision.net Research Team manage to communicate with
registrants more regularly in future.
