Compared to the general interest and sync-ed research messages, the outreach message for this type of research has a different feedback request. Changes have been highlighted in yellow.
<aside> 🅰️ For a direct email without a confirmed timeframe: Hey [name],
Hope you’re doing well!
I'm [your name], [your role] with the Designlab team. I've also CC-ed [any other relevant team member/s.]
We’re collecting asynchronous feedback on [written drafts/lesson ideas etc] to help us improve the [specific course section/project/lesson]. We’re reaching out to you because we want to hear from current mentors to create an even better [course name - UXA/UXAF etc] experience.
For all feedback requests, we provide an honorarium for your time.
