Creating On-Line Surveys

Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey, the world's leading questionnaire tool.



I have just created my first online survey using SurveyMonkey.

You can do my short online survey about the E-Learning course by clicking on the link above.

Survey Monkey is one of many free websites that allows users to create surveys, collect responses and analyse the feedback. This site was very user friendly and did not require any specific programs to be downloaded first. A wide range of options are available for the survey style, structure and collection method.

Teachers could use this tool to pre-test students, for formative assessment, summative assessment or as a reflection mode. This would also have the benefit of providing a storage system for students’ results for later comparison and reporting.

Students could use this tool to gather primary data for research projects. This tool allows digital natives to collect and analyse their data in a digital format, reducing the need for inputting and printing out data. Students would be able to apply and develop their research and digital literacy skills through an engaging and student centred task.

On-line surveys would primarily be used in the Information Seeking, Locating and Access Information and Using Information stages (Eisenberg & Berkowitz, 2010).


The journey continues,
