Title: Types of Survey Software to use (POLL)
Post by: Mada438 on April 26, 2018, 01:06:39 pm
Nearly everyone doing their PIP will design a survey at one point.

So what type of software did you use? What were the advantages and disadvantages of this software?
Did you have to pay for a premium account to use more advanced features for some reason? If so, How much?

This will also be helpful to future Society and Culture students who are deciding what software to use to design their surveys

Google survey:
- Very straight forward and takes like 5 minutes just to create your questionnaire
- If your school uses google as their main server, you don't even need to create a separate account
- In terms of style, less = more. Its minimal style will encourage more users to participate because they don't have to go through all the bits and bobs
- IT'S FOR F R E E !!!
- Easy to send out (make sure that the link is open up to EVERYONE)

I'm clearly biased because this is the only survey programme I've ever used but keen to hear what everyone else is using :)

I use type form, which can be either free or paid.
I used it in year 11 to create a survey for an S&C assignment and found the user interface to be super easy to use and navigate.
Unfortunately, i discovered that the free version would not be enough for what i needed as it limited me to 100 responses per month across all my surveys.
So i got the PRO subscription. I applied for a student discount and i pay $20/Month.
An added bonus of the pro version was logic jump which has been instrumental to me in making my surveys. To give you an example, here's a copy of one of my surveys...

Now i know it looks super complex, but i assure you, with the logic jump in there, it's very easy to navigate
