End of Program Survey
Purpose of this survey
- To gather demographic information for use in outreach and fundraising capacity
- To solicit feedback on our volunteer programs
- To help us identify possible program improvements
- To gather testimonials for outreach and fundraising purposes
- To identify skills and interests of volunteers for future projects
Who takes the survey
This survey would be taken by volunteers at the time they are completing either the Build or Adoption programs. For Adoption, it could be made a regular part of future Adoption Classes. For Build volunteers, we would need to come up with a system to ensure builders have the option to take it.
How it is taken
We are currently looking into a web-based program called Lime Survey. There is a test version of this software living on an external server, accessible by visiting http://fglime.chasing-daylight.com/admin. Currently Tony and Michael are administrators on this server and can add additional users. A decision as to whether and how we will eventually implement this tool is on Technocrats' plate right now. It is not 100% certain we will deploy this tool, but I'm already thinking of this survey in terms of utilizing some of its features.Tonyc 21:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
The major feature this tool provides is branching surveys, where the responses to certain questions will determine which follow-up questions are asked. Responses are stored in a spreadsheet file, and depending on the survey settings, can be either anonymous or not.
Also, LS allows for many different question formats. It's a good idea to look at the [documentation to familiarize yourself with what's avaiable.
