Google Docs... For all of your Survey/Quiz Needs


As an educator, I am always looking for ways to gather information from my students. Sometimes I want to assess what my students know and sometimes I may just want feedback from my students. If your school or university uses a Course Management System (CMS), many of them have several tools for surveys or exams. However, if you don't need the bells and whistles of your course management system or you don't have one, Google Docs provides a great option for assessments. This could even be a survey you use to get feedback from your clients or a form you use to get information.

In order to create a survey you go to Google Docs and choose to create a new form. You then have several types of questions you ask. The information that your respondents complete is given to you in a nice spreadsheet form. To look at the survey I created for student feedback click here.

Check out the video below for instructions on creating a survey or assessment tool in Google Docs.
Are there other ways that you use Google Docs or other Google Apps in your teaching?
