Questionnaires

[Peter Lewis]

I am wanting to make a questionnaire/survey document that the students complete and the results can then be syncd back to one main machine and results analysed.....does anyone know of a good app or a way of doing this? (The simpler the better)

I would also like to have a document with pages that I have created that they write answers on the screen and the sheets form an ongoing booklet that can be checked periodically.....again, any help would be appreciated.

i would look into using Google Forms for your survey. All you need is a Google account and it's relatively simple to set up a form. The results are automatically tabulated in a spreadsheet.

As for the document, you could create and distribute a pdf document and then have students use an app like GoodReader or iAnnotate to add text over the top of it.

1. I use SurveyMonkey or Google Docs for this. Both are free. SurveyMonkey is iPad-friendlier while Google Docs is easier to set up.
2. For this I'd use a wiki. There are some great and free solutions to set up a personal or class wiki, Google should help you to find something that suits your use case.

Exactly what I am thinking and needing Peter. I am also wondering if there are any good surveys online. I am in the midst of making one to survey a group of grade 6s starting an iPad pilot, but I am guessing there may be some already drifting around. Do you know of any? Thanks.

Hi Peter,

This solution by Caretotell may fit your need. It's not a "document" solution like Google Forms, but more of a pure survey tool that will sync automatically and you can we the results in real-time on the web, or download the raw survey data for further studies. 

It has a kiosk mode, that secures the iPad when you hand it over to your students.
