Webinars, Events and In-Person Meetings survey

Instructions for On-line Survey Development

For each webinar or event hosted by the Collaborative, a survey will be created in on-line survey software to gather feedback that can inform project planning. Given the changing nature and context of each product and the content on each webpage, it is important to be able to get feedback from recipients without creating undue burden by answering excessive questions that only marginally apply. To address this, the survey will be tailored to the unique information needs of each event to ensure low burden while informing high quality service provision. When creating each on-line survey, content specialists will use the required questions listed below and choose up to 14 context specific optional questions that can be added to the survey, as needed. This will allow for unique information needs to be met.

It is expected that each tailored survey will have no more than 20 questions, including 11 required questions and a maximum of 7-9 optional questions, with a burden of no more than 5 minutes.
