Questionnaire/Poll question

[her_welshness]

Perhaps this sounds very lazy, but for my Masters Diss (sorry to be boring again) I want an online questionnaire to e-mail to people. Can I develop this on live journal? I've seen that you can create a poll, but is it better to design a questionnaire using a different product (somewhere out there).

If anyone could help I would be very grateful!

If you do a google of design questionnaires online you get a whole load of hits for creating them. Maybe try some out and see what you think? If you go for LJ I think you need a paid account.

Thanks hon - I think I was just googling design questionnaires and I was getting university lecture notes about the importance of questionnaire design instead!

Have just fiddled around with polls and it is not bad, but is not really do-able as a questionnaire...

I think it depends on how complex you need your questionnaire to be. LJ will do basic closed questions well, but open ones it's not so good at.

Yep thats true - its not a complex questionnaire but it does have some open questions.

I found these - which look quite useful!

Shayna used surveymonkey for the questionnaire for her dissertation and that worked pretty well

Great - thanks to you all, at least 3 of you have now recommended survey monkey so that is where I am going to go!
