If you are looking to gather data online in the form of a survey or questionnaire, there are several products available for use with varying levels of difficulty, complexity and control to suit your individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google Forms is arguably the easiest survey software to get started with. It is very simplistic and requires no knowledge of HTML. You can create questions on the fly for simple surveys with either known or anonymous responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is available from Google Drive (formerly Google Docs) here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on making forms is available online from Google here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a way to limit responses with Google Forms, and you can review the steps here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One campus solution for online survey products is the Qualtrics application<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Arguably the most advanced survey product available at NC State, Qualtrics is nevertheless fairly intuitive and easy to use. Full support documentation and training tutorials are available on the Qualtrics support site<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NOTE<\/strong>: Before using Qualtrics, you will need to register an account by an email address. You will need to use your NC State email address (i.e., unityID@ncsu.edu<\/a>) in order to create your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A home-grown survey software out of CALS, SurveyBuilder<\/a> has long been the campus solution to online forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It still hosts a robust feature set, anonymous polling, and easy-to-view results. The only downside is that it is arguably the least user-friendly of the three, and offers the fewest options for presentation of your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\nQualtrics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
