The Academic Technology Center (ATC) has been supporting web surveys for 10 years, and the Center for Marketing Technology (CMT) has done so for almost as long. We've learned a thing or two about what makes them succeed (and fail)! We therefore STRONGLY encourage you to review and follow these brief Top Ten Survey Design Tips before conducting any web survey. We currently support two web survey tools, and recommend Google Forms for quick surveys for which you don't need support: Perseus (support will stop Fall 2010): For faculty research, supported by the ATC (We are planning to phase out Perseus by Fall 2010 and switch all existing Perseus surveys to Qualtrics). (Note: If your survey requires personally-identifiable information, contact Bentley’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) to determine whether it needs IRB approval.)Qualtrics: For faculty research, supported by the ATC and for student coursework, supported by the CMT. Google Forms: Anyone can use this free survey tool in Google Docs. It doesn't have some of the limitations of SurveyMonkey, though it's obviously not a Bentley tool or supported by Bentley. (If you are a Bentley staff member and would like to conduct a survey using a Bentley supported tool, kindly contact Suzanne Cucchi in Client Services @ 781.891.3460 or scucchi@bentley.edu) |
