What are your experiences on data collection by web surveys and online questionnaires? pitfalls and tips are most welcome. what products did you use?

hi

i've used them in my MSc research and my PhD research. it's all good. MSc was set up by a very nice gentleman in the department. PhD was on my internal web pages at my uni although the next couple of stages will be i think on QM Perception which is available through my uni.

there are quite a lot of papers on this kind of thing in the social science journals.

also, i think this has been discussed before and some people mentioned some free websites you can use if your uni doesn't have available software.

have fun!

I have used surveymonkey many times and it is really useful. You do need to make sure that you set it up right at the beginning though, so your data comes out in the correct format - a few pilots usually work wonders.

Thanks guys! will check up on prev.posts on free websites and survey monkey as well
