PDPs: 15
Surveys are a popular way to gather information from a group of people about
trends, practices, opinions, and preferences. Surveys are so popular, in
fact, that there may be several vying for your attention right now! Is that
another survey in your email inbox? How will you decide whether to answer or
delete it? Does the survey appear to be relevant to you, interesting, and,
perhaps most importantly, easy to complete?
Good survey design may make all the difference between a survey that is
skipped and one that is completed. In this online workshop you will learn to
design an effective, easy to complete survey that provides reliable, usable
results. In addition, you'll have the chance to create a survey of your own
and get feedback on how to improve it. This workshop will cover:
The elements of a survey
Survey question formats and response options
Developing scales
Drafting and testing a survey questionnaire
Survey samples and response rates
Ethical considerations
Organizing and presenting your results
