This semester my students and I will be undertaking a study of the Fall River Public Schools which will include a scientific survey of teachers and administrators. For both cost and time efficiency reasons, we will be using an online survey tool and so, as I prep for the course, I have been examining all of the various options out there.
The one that I have decided to use is SoGo Survey. Unlike its competitors (Survey Monkey etc), this tool offers some very cool features (I find its ability to maintain the anonymity of respondents while allowing for selective follow-up with non-respondents to be particularly cool). The ability to translate questions into different languages (using Google translate apparently) is also a very powerful feature that I will probably not get to test this time out but will no doubt come in handy for future projects.
The folks for SoGo survey have graciously offered me a Professional Account at no charge in exchange for me writing a review of the product once the pilot test is done. The project should be done in May and so stay tuned for my review!
