Technical Skills Assessment

We are asking all ART CART participants to help us to help you by telling us honestly your level of knowledge and comfort with various aspects of the technology we will be using. This way, we can develop resources where people need help. Please spend a half hour on the following questionnaire and complete it no later than December 20. The results will be discussed early in the new year. Many thanks for your help.
