CEDO 540 Decision Making Using Data Collection & Analysis: Week Three

This week we started taking a look at surveys.  Our groups will be responsible for creating a survey and distributing to a sample group of about 15 people.  We have decided that we will keep our survey focused around technology, use Google Forms to create it and use a social network to reach our sample population.  Though we have not figured out exactly what we want to survey our group about within the means of technology.

CEDO 540 Decision Making Using Data Collection & Analysis: Week Two

This week in class we continued with our guided practice and took a look at different survey software.  One of the  survey software websites that we looked at was Capterra.  The website offers 173 different survey software options for companies to purchase.  The one thing that I really liked about the website was the fact that you could filter your search right down to exactly what it is the company is looking for.  For people that are looking to purchase survey software, this seems the best route to go as you can see all your options on one site.

Our group was also in charge of looking at 5 different online survey software options; 3 free and 2 paid.  I took the time to look into Survey Monkey.  This site is one that I have used in the past, but to take a survey.  The site was very user friendly.  Creating surveys seemed to be very easy and the free version allowed for many different options.  Though there was a paid version, the free version is the route to go for creating simple surveys.  This version did limit you to a number of questions and responses per survey, but in the classroom setting I see the free version being more cost effective.
