Make a questionnaire - Google Drive

Tool Description If you need to collaborate^(tool) or 'co-create' some text, a spreadsheet or a presentation, people with a Google account can edit the same document at the same time. One day, probably yesterday, doing so will be as passé as keeping all your work in the cloud^(tool)! However, Google Drive also allows you, or students to make a questionnaire for circulation.

To make an online questionnaire^(tool), go to GOOGLE DRIVE (previously Google Docs at drive.google.com) and create a form (instead of creating a document as one might normally). You will find a choice of question types to use, such as multiple choice and free-response answers. Look and you'll find a very useful button for copying a question so that you can edit the copy. When you have finished, the link to the question form is circulated to students, their answers are collated into a spreadsheet that will appear on your Google Drive. A comparable survey^(tool) tool called SURVEYMONKEY (www.surveymonkey.com) is much used for customer feedback. Either of these versatile devices may be used by students to research, poll opinion and more. ^(edit)

Teaching Approach. Google Drive can be used as a collaborative^(tool) document editor for group work^(ta) and collaboration^(ta) in class and homework^(ta) settings. Google Drive - or similar tools - can also be used to deliver polls^(tool) and questionnaires^(ta) to pupils in and out of class. ^(edit)
