Poll+-+Survey

Poll and survey tools collect, collate and report data thus providing educators with an efficient means of getting student feedback. The form could be as simple as one question or a more detailed response covering many questions. There are a variety of options in setting up the questioning, but commonly once completed the form is submitted, the response is added to the collected responses and an updated result summary displayed to the user. A teacher may use this to gather student opinion, evidence of prior knowledge or feedback on lesson understanding. There are four good web 2 tools for this purpose, each may suit a different person depending on their needs..


 * Like the other tools, ** Survey Monkey **provides unlimited surveys with the free version limited to 12 questions and 100 responses per poll / survey. It has the ability to password protect access to the poll and the ability to limit the number of responses per computer.
