USING ONLINE SURVEYS AND QUESTIONNAIRES FOR ASSESSMENT – GOOGLE FORMS AND SURVEYMONKEY

These are great for:
• Baseline assessment – prior knowledge
• End of section assessment – summative assessment of what they know
• Mid-project assessment to see if learners know enough to start their product

Google Forms
1. You find these in Google Drive/Google Docs. You might have to join Google Drive but it is free. 2. Create a FORM
3. Make the first Question – What is your name? – so you can track each participant’s answers
4. Keep adding questions – a good variety of question-types is best – multiple choice, comment, check boxes, etc.
5. Save and SHARE – you can e-mail it to as many people as you like.
6. At the bottom of the page you will see the link to your survey – copy that and paste it into your project plan in Section D. Don’t lose that URL!!
7. When people answer, their answers are automatically collected on a spreadsheet – click on the name of the survey in your Google drive docs and you will go to the spreadsheet.

Surveymonkey
1. Go to www.surveymonkey.com and sign in. Again, it is free.
2. Create a survey – they will give you suggested questions, but ignore those.
3. Select a type of question – this is more flexible than Google Forms – eg you can rank from most favourite to least favourite, or put things in order.
4. After each question, add another one until you have enough and then Finish.
5. When you SHARE it will give you a URL. Don’t lose it!! Paste it into your project plan in Section D.
6. When people do the survey, they can go to Analyse results to mark their own work.
7. You can collect the results and see how they are doing by clicking the Collect results tab.

Here are two URLs for surveys you can try

You will not be able to see the results as a participant, just do the quiz.
