Surveys and QR Codes

Surveys

Google Forms Allows you to create and administer a survey quickly and easily. You can build a survey from a variety of question types (checkbox answers, matrix answers, scale answers, text answers). Questions may be easily re-organized, and you can create multiple "pages" based on responses.

You can then share or publish the form online for people to take. All responses are automatically tallied and presented in a graphic format, or may be downloaded in Microsoft Excel format.
