Online surveys have become an important part of understanding individuals' attitudes and opinions on certain issues, thanks to its advantageous sides compared to face-to-face surveys like budgetary constraints, shorter completion period, elicitation of honest views, the inclusion of audio and visual elements and so on. Therefore, web surveys have been accepted as a significant tool through which the researchers explore public opinion from marketing studies to election polls.
The primary focus of the workshop is to teach participants how to come up with the best possible survey instruments for web-based data collection. The workshop will cover the impacts of design on measurement error in online survey; what is more, it will demonstrate practical examples in order to ensure maximum quality in data collection. Participants may bring their own projects to the workshop. The speaker will be using Qualtrics to illustrate various design issues.
