The basics: We’ll go over the definitions of surveys and quizzes and over Google Form’s basic functionalities, such as: creating an account, finding your forms and customizing your forms.
The question types/measurement items: We’ll learn about the different types of questions and measurement items we can use in our surveys and quizzes. We’ll go over HOW and WHEN to use each one, so you will be able to choose the right type of question for your purposes.
Response validation: We’ll learn how we can get the answers we want using response validation. Please note that we will not go into detail about regular expression. However, even with regular expression, it is possible to make great online forms!
Sections: We’ll learn how we can use the section functionality to create a form logic, so we can make sure that the right people see the right parts of our forms. Plus, we’ll learn how we can use this functionality to make better looking forms.
Other useful features: We’ll also take a look at the most important and useful ‘other’ features, such as: collecting email addresses and adding collaborators.
Quizzes: We’ll learn how we can turn our form into a quiz and how we can automatically grade our student’s hand-ins so we can test their knowledge.
Sending out your form: After creating our beautiful form, we will want to send it out to our participants. We’ll make sure we know how to do so.
Responses: Now that our form has gathered data for us, we can make use of Google Form’s responses-section to see what the data is trying to tell us. We’ll go over this responses-section so you’ll be able to interpret your data.
Practical examples: Customer satisfaction survey and online quiz
After we have learned about the essential functionalities of Google Forms we’ll be creating both a survey and a quiz, so you can follow along and see how we can put our knowledge into practice.
Creating a customer satisfaction survey
If you own/work for a business, customers and their needs are very important. A respected author in the field of marketing once said: ‘If you want to know what your customers want, just ask them.’ (paraphrased). Surveys are a quick, easy and effective way to ask your customers who they are, what they think about your product/service and what other services they need.
We’ll be making our own customer satisfaction survey in this course, so you can follow along and learn how you can gather important customer-related data yourself.
Creating an online quiz
If you are a teacher it is likely that you want to test your student’s knowledge. Online quizzes allow you to do that, and to do it remotely. This way you can assign and assess quizzes from any location. Google Forms also offers the opportunity to grade quizzes automatically (when your quiz does not contain open questions), saving you time.
We’ll be making our own online quiz in this course, so you can follow along and learn how you can assess your student’s knowledge yourself.
Downloadable files: Form assessment checklist and question selection flowchart
You’ll get access to two downloadable files. The first is a checklist that you can always use to quickly assess your survey and ensure its quality. The second is a flowchart that you can use to quickly find out what question type is best suited for your purposes.
I’m looking forward to seeing you in the course!
