What kind of computer do kids need to participate in surveys?
Any computer with Web access and a Web browser is more than adequate for most KidzEyes surveys. We test surveys on machines running Netscape, Internet Explorer and the AOL browser, and on Macs and Windows computers. KidzEyes also uses a proprietary survey system called netCRIMSON that allows us to develop surveys that are a lot more fun for kids because they can contain video clips, music, and a lot of other multi-media components. netCRIMSON surveys require computers with CD-ROM or DVD drives equipped with speakers for audio, and currently run on Windows computers only, not Macs. Panel members who indicate that they have appropriate computers during the sign-up process may be invited to participate in netCRIMSON surveys. CDs for netCRIMSON surveys will be sent to the home address with have on file, in care of the child’s parent or guardian.
