[Air-l] Any opinions about Opinio web survey software

[Charlie Balch]

Denise,
You might want to look at a free survey system that I wrote:
http://birat.net

My PHD is on best practices in Internet Survey Design and BIRAT reflects the
research. BIRAT's web site is not a slick but the content of the survey
system is solid and even has a few features that Opinio does not such as the
ability to track user responses and image type items.  BIRAT also provides
export to Excel from which you can get to SPSS. Opinio does have some
features that BIRAT does not as well.

You can use BIRAT at the website or I'll send a copy of the code you can
install on your own servers.

Best regards,

Dear Aoir-ers -

We are currently evaluating Opinio (used to be
SurveyMonkey) for our university.

So far it seems to have that 'easy interface' but a few glitches moving the
results to Excel and then to SPSS/PC - which is what we use for survey
evaluation.

Ok, any stories good and Especially Bad would be appreciated.

Cheers, Denise
