A longitudinal study is a correlational research study that involves observations of the same items over periods of time (Wikipedia). A longitudinal study tracks the same people and observes the time order of events. The observations characterize patterns of the subject responses such as changes between subjects and from comparisons between measurements for a single subject (Pahwa, Punam, 2002).
In my study, I will compare the use of pod technology betweem October and February 2006. The group I am using is the HRD staff. I will examine patterns of responses about the use of pod technology between the subjects and comparisons of the two measurements of a single subject. I am now collecting the data.

Amy,
Your study is for this February 2007.
What information do you hope to gain from the study? How will the research impact your work and our NPF mission? Are you including yourself in the survey? Does the HRD leadership utilize ipod technology?
WHat can we do to support them to use it and share it?
