Survey tool

2004-08-01 12:00 by Helmut Schottmüller

ILIAS Umfrage Modul

Conceptual design and implementation of a survey tool in ILIAS Open Source for the Helmut Schmidt University of the Federal Armed Forces Hamburg.

 

In ILIAS you could use surveys to easily collect information from a large number of ILIAS users, for example to evaluate courses or other events. ILIAS surveys are easy to create and administer, even for non-experienced users. With a sufficient basis of survey questions, teachers could create their own evaluations fast and efficient.

ILIAS offers you a broad variety of statistical evaluation methods but it does not claim to be an expert system in statistical evaluation. Thus you are able to export your survey results to CSV (comma separated values) or Microsoft Excel to do your statistical analysis with expert systems like SPSS. The survey tool contains:

 

  • Creation and use of question pools to store survey questions
  • Survey question types: Essay questions, Matrix questions, Metric questions, Nominal questions, and Ordinal questions
  • Personalized and anonymized surveys
  • Question blocks in surveys
  • Preconditions for survey questions and question blocks
  • Statical evaluation and export (CSV, Microsoft Excel)
  • Statistical evaluation with cumulated and per user results
