Free Survey Portal

Introduction

There are many researches going on in the field of Human Computer Interaction in the world. Some of these researches are online consisting of surveys collecting data about different aspects of human computer interaction and then drawing inferences based on this quantitative or qualitative data. Researchers do need an online platform that would help them develop online surveys. SurveyMonkey.com is one of the platform but it is not free and mat require the expenditure of financial resources. Google has their own free survey facility for research purposes.

Project Specifications

The aim of my project is to develop a free survey platform where researcher can and develop their surveys and present them to online visitors to collect data. My survey platform would be different from others in regard to providing the researchers a section of the free survey website that would let them publish their survey to get more people to fill them. There would be another section that would let the researchers publish the findings of their survey researches to the general public.

There would be two sections of the online platform. First would be a WordPress based website that would deal with the tow facilities that I just described. The other section of the online platform would be the surveys themselves that would be available to be filled by survey respondents. The survey platform will be developed with the help of LimeSurvey.org. This is an open source content management. Researchers would be able to get an admin user name and password to access the admin panel of their surveys to develop these surveys. In the following sections I would provide an initial design of the project and some screen shots of LimeSurvey content management system that I would incorporate in my project.
