Key quotes:

• so in this video we're going to look how to cross analyze answers to surveys and this is a survey that I've used in the past and the first thing to do when you finished you're serving your collected or your sponsors is to stop people from adding additional responses so in the Google Forms you open up your survey gives responses and just press that little button there and you will then be in a position to start analyzing to open up the data it's in the plane information is in this responses tab so we can scroll down and we can see you've got some nice charts and those are charts that just look at one particular question but if we want to cross analyze our information like we want to find out what particular drinks people that like kabobs like drink this doesn't show us so we need to do some analysis so to get hold of all the data we press on this little green button at the top of the cross in it and usually the first time you run that it'll ask you to create a spreadsheet once you've created your spreadsheet once it'll

Key quotes:

• and here's another adventure in form design and this is when you let someone else do the coding and then you can think about really designing your form in terms of what kinds of questions are you going to ask what kind of data do you need what kind of data do you want so you let Google or Survey Monkey or maybe doodle or you can probably get WordPress plugins that will create feedback forms that you could put in WordPress you let one of these other services do the coding and then you can really think about your form so what we're looking at here is a test form that I just created using Google and you can see it's powered by Google Docs and if but if we look at the code we don't see the the HTML coding that we were looking at before we just see this link to Google Docs and that's where the form actually is it's not on my web page this is the link to where the form is at Google on my web page and it looks like this and that means that Google is actually doing all the processing

Key quotes:

• In this demo, I will write a simple Google App Script function that creates a collector for a SurveyMonkey survey automatically
• Before we get into the details of how to create the request, we need to authorize our script to make changes on behalf of our SurveyMonkey account
• This flow generates a long-lived access token your app can use with every API call to the associated SurveyMonkey account
• It’s important to note the access token only grants access when used in combination with your API credentials (client ID) and only to the SurveyMonkey account which was authorized
• Your app will need to obtain additional access tokens for each SurveyMonkey account you wish to access
• function getSurveyID(){ var options = { ‘method’ : ‘GET’, ‘headers’:{‘Authorization’:’bearer your_access_token’}, ‘contentType’: ‘application/json’ }; var result = UrlFetchApp.fetch(‘https://api.surveymonkey.com/v3/surveys?title=Your%20Survey', options); if (result.getResponseCode() == 200) { var params = JSON.parse(result.getContentText()); Logger.log(params.data[0].id); } } Replace your_access_token with your access token, Your%20Survey with the title of your survey
• ‘payload’ : JSON.stringify(data), }; var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(‘https://api.surveymonkey.com/v3/surveys/{survey_id}/collectors', options);Logger.log(response.getContentText()); } Once you run this function, you’ve successfully created a new collector for your survey! You may also specify the details when creating the Collector by passing along the optional parameters listed in the API.

Key quotes:

• Microsoft Forms was released over a year ago for Office 365 education customers but was only recently made available in Public Preview for commercial tenants
• Then there’s the name — it’s called Microsoft Forms, but the URL is forms.office.com
• Yet now in Office 365 we have features like Forms that are in Public Preview and accessible to all users regardless of First Release setting
• One could argue that for that purpose we have SharePoint lists which provide a form-like interface for user input, however you could conversely argue that this method is not as friendly as Forms by a long shot
• While I don’t think Forms has to necessarily copy SurveyMonkey (because at the end of the day that is a purpose-built tool that only does one function, and does it damn well) it would allow Forms to move up a level if users could group questions together
• As long as the expectation is set that it is a personal form solution for quizzes and feedback/input, I think users will continue to adopt it
• Like Sway is to Prezi and Planner is to Trello, Forms is to SurveyMonkey — it’s not enough to compete but is enough to slow users from choosing those solutions and having data stored outside the organisation’s virtual walls of Office 365.

Key quotes:

• You can also host your survey on MTurk itself but some customers choose to use Google Forms, Qualtrics, or a number of other survey tools they may be more familiar with
• To post a survey on MTurk that is hosted on another service such as Google Forms you’ll want to start from the Survey Link template
• If you’re using the Survey Link template and hosting your survey on another website such as Google Forms, Qualtrics, or your own website, you’ll want to have some way to validate that Workers that submit tasks on MTurk completed your survey
• You can then link the survey response to the Worker in your results
• Google Forms doesn’t have a method to provide a unique completion code so the best option is include a question in your survey that asks Workers for their Worker ID
• Note that the Survey Link template includes a field where Workers are asked to provide a completion code
• If you asked for a completion code you will typically find it in column AB of your MTurk results and the WorkerID will be in column P.
