MethodsAll students at MSU have an e-mail account and free access to the Internet. Furthermore, MSU students are expected to use the Internet to communicate with instructors and administrators, register for classes, and participate in their courses. We used an iterative design process to develop a watershed knowledge, attitude, and use questionnaire. The questionnaire was implemented using a hard copy mailed to a random sample of students and a Web questionnaire emailed to another random sample of students. The Web questionnaire was virtually an exact copy of the written instrument, except that students scrolled down and “clicked” to fill in their responses to the closed-ended questions instead of turning pages and using a pencil or pen to fill in ScanTron®“response bubbles.” Altogether, the survey contained 10 brief sections of questions with a total of 56 items to be completed. The Web instrument and the hard copy questionnaire each took about 15 minutes to complete.
