Hello all,
I'm getting ready to create a survey and would like to hear from those that have some experience using sites/tools like Survey Monkey, Zoomerang, etc..
Which of these kinds of tools do you think are best and, are there any decent free, ideally open source, versions out there?
Since I use Moodle for my courses, I use the Moodle Questionnaire module (a third-party module available from the main Moodle site) for anything in-house. If I want it to be generally available, I use phpESP, which is the software the module is based on. It's free as in both beer and speech, fairly easy to install and configure and has a simple graphic interface for survey creators. It's also pretty good at processing results - you can do item analysis, for example, though there are no advanced statistic involved.
Of course all of this implies that you have access to a server which provides you with PHP and MySQL.
