A number of our grad students are using Survey Monkey (www.surveymonkey.com) for posting web surveys. I have heard mixed things about the extent of its data analysis components and flexibility with layout, but those I know working with it say it seems to basically function well.
I think that's an accurate evaluation of SurveyMonkey. It's pretty cheap and very good at what it does (basic surveys). It does not really have any analysis tools to speak of other than some *very* basic descriptive stats. I don't know how well it would work for non-English surveys. GMU's Center for History and New Media (the same people that brought us Zotero) has what appears to be a free online survey tool at http://chnm.gmu.edu/tools/surveys/. I played with it for about 30 seconds once, long enough to figure out that it doesn't appear to support branching logic. I could be wrong and I'd love to hear if anyone else has experience with that or other free, easy-to-use survey tools. Kevin

I confirm your experience. And the form is in English only, as it's conceived for the evaluation of (US university) courses, if I understand well. So, less useful for the multi-lingual Internet world. However what is nice : you can export the data in tab-delimited format. Even if this is an Internet-related list I would also like to get some info about conventional paper and pencil questionnaire layout programmes (if this exists) - Frank Thomas
Greetings all, I am seeking empirical articles that study *both* CMC and in-person communication and discuss how these communication processes interweave. I am thinking for instance of people in a computer room/lab/classroom etc. who are chatting on IM but also interacting near each other. Thank you for pointers to yours or others' research.
