After testing a safety incident reporting form with 50 factory workers in 2004, I came up with a edit mode / read mode model for multiple selection. Only 1 of 50 participants reported knowing ctrl-click (none used it), and 49/50 checked email regularly.
I released the code to open source and someone made it even better.
