On-line surveys
[Page last updated 29 Jan 2014]
There are number of agencies offering tools for on-line surveys (with tutorials) some with scaled down freebie versions:
Bristol On-Line Surveys is a non-profit service based at Bristol University: Used intensively by many satisfied clients, including major institutions: definitely worth browsing for positive feedback and sound advice on methodology. See especially the item on Survey design by Sally Barnes
www.kupferman.com has some interesting stuff on a wide range of research topics, including reviews (2006) of a wide range of on-line software : worth a quick browse.
There are several companies offering on-line survey facilities, some with free membership (for limited facilities). The following are worth a look:
Qualtrics
Survey Monkey
smartsurvey

eSurveysPro
edigitalresearch (Also has some interesting interactive question displays: try their Green

See also Web surveys for the general population: How, why and when? which has links to presentations and papers from the opening conference 25-26 Feb 2013 of a new network group sponsored by ESRC via the NCRM. The blurb states:
The events of this network are funded by the ESRC as part of the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) Networks for Methodological Innovation. The network aims to exchange knowledge, generate new thinking and work towards resolving a shared
challenge in survey research: how - and to what extent - can the web be used to
survey the general population? The aim is to explore what is now possible in the UK, what could be possible in the future, to set out a research agenda to help us get there, and to recommend an infrastructure for enabling a transition to web platforms.
The network’s organising members are:
Lisa Calderwood, Institute of Education, UK
Peter Lynn, University of Essex, UK
Gerry Nicolaas, NatCen Social Research, UK
Caroline Roberts, University of Lausanne, Switzerland
