[nabs-l] creating surveys

[Niall Gallagher]

Hi Ashley,

It does everything for you. 
You begin by giving your survey a title. 
Then you input the text of your questions. 
You can choose from a wide range of answers, i.e. rating scale, multiple choice, drop down menus, essay or comment style text boxes, and others which I haven't explored. 
You can configure the way individuals take your survey, but in the case of mine, my class mates just clicked on the link, filled in the survey, and clicked done. 
The results are col'lected and analyzed by surveymonkey, you can view these results at anytime (and view the number of responses).

In your case, you could create your survey, embed it on your blog, and then tell your participants to visit your blog.
Individual links can be sent to individual participants via email.

Kindest regards,

Niall.

>> Hi all,
>> 
>> Well I found out I need to do some research for a research paper in english. Well, except for interviews, this can be an accessibility challenge since if I create a survey in paper, I cannot read the results. I need a method like a survey or interview and since its on groups, this would better with a survey.

>> So, how can I create an online accessible survey? Where? and is it free?
>> Any other ideas such as having participants respond with a voice mail message annonoumously maybe with drop box or something? I have created a blog so hope I can create a survey without learning fancy web design. Thanks for any tips!
