Hi Lon, You ask about the practicalitites of designing online surveys with backend db facilities. I've just spent a few weeks teaching myself asp/sql code (with substantial help from another listmember here!) to do just that. I'd be interested to hear more about the software you mention, but also skeptical as to its versatility. It makes me think of Dreamweaver, which is an excellent tool for building websites, but the amount of times I have to go into the code and sort out problems leaves me thinking it would be impossible to rely on it alone. I imagine the same applies to the tool you're aiming to use, and that it is likely to be useful if you are designing lots of web-surveys with back-end db. to speed up the process, but will not substitute for learning the code. You can see the results of my labours here: http://www.online-supervision.net/RegisterInterest.asp Ben (Available for hire!) ----- Original Message ----- From: <Berquist@uts.cc.utexas.edu> To: <air-l@aoir.org> Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 4:42 PM Subject: [Air-l] Web-based Surveys
A few months ago, there was some discussion about online surveys--particularly regarding methodology and design. My question is more practical--can anyone recommend software to design a web-displayed survey that will easily capture data into a backend database? I've looked at SPSS Data Entry (TM), but would like to receive recommendations from others who have completed web-based surveys and are pleased with the software they have worked with.
Thanks,
