  1. Dear Sir,

    Can you please confirm whether we are also suppose to submit the actual web designed survey or is it ok to submit only the word questionnaire along with the logic? Because putting 50-60 questions in web design format is taking lot of time.

    Thanks

  2. And what is the need to design a web based survey when this is just the initial draft? Can we please submit a paper based survey to save the trouble? If i understand correctly a compilation of good questions from all our submissions would be then used to form the final questionnaire which would be later on administered to different people. In that case i think doing an online submission is not much of help. Is there?

  3. Janta,

    Pls use www.esurveyspro.com software to create a websurvey. Program your questionnaire along with skip logic into it. The skips should *work*.

    The professionalism, appearance and overall impression one gets whilst taking the survey is also a factor being considered.

    Besides, an electronic draft on a word editor is the first step to getting a programmed websurvy out anyway. If you've gotten that far, you're over 80% done. But pls don't stop short at the last lap.

    Its not a great big deal to program the survey into the software. Not doing so and emailing in the word draft with SKIP logic written down would be considered an incomplete submission. Besides all 6 folk are not required to sit together and do it. Once the draft is finalized, any 1 group member could finish the job.

    Hope that clarifies.

    P.S.
    This is worthy of wider dissemination, IMO, as a separate blog post, perhaps.

    Another reason is that after the final questionnaire is finalized, I will program it with skip logic into the ISB account of surveymonkey.com.

    I will then share the survey URL with you for your data collection.

    IOW, this is the only stage wherein you actually do some/any websurvey programming. So plz don't mind having to do so.

    Tks for understanding.
