How to program a survey from scratch in Survey Monkey – Live Demonstration – Part 2

*Note: I may be compensated, but you will not be charged, if you click on the links below.

This livestream originally was broadcast on March 19, 2022. Monika demonstrates all the steps for programming an online survey into Survey Monkey (or another survey software). NOTE: The software crashed in the middle of the demonstration, so that’s why there is a Part 1 and Part 2.
Here are the overall steps to programming a survey into online survey software:
1. Develop the specification
2. Program the software
3. Do internal testing to ensure veracity of data and to develop data curation
4. Administer survey
Part 1 demonstrates the first two steps. Part 2 demonstrates the last two steps. To learn more details about each of these steps, take Monika’s free online course, “Understanding Research Forms, Surveys, and Instruments”: https://buff.ly/3eTtiOw

00:50 Recapping Part 1 and contextualizing where we are starting in the process of programming and testing an online survey
03:21 Continuing from last video – entering test data
05:10 Modifying collector to accept multiple responses from same IP address
05:49 Entering another test record
08:16 Why you should curate the data (e.g., practice downloading fake data and making sure it landed) BEFORE you administer the survey
10:03 Demonstrating downloading the data from SurveyMonkey – how to set the options
14:44 Example of CollectorList.csv (“collector list” that downloads with the data)
16:35 Example of downloaded data in CSV format – description of table format (rows and columns structure)
18:23 Formatting the Excel spreadsheet as an *.xlsx so we can read and understand the test data
19:46 Description of the fields (variables) that landed in the download
25:35 Beginning data curation/data dictionary development
30:14 Documenting values in a picklist
32:30 Planning for future variables to be made in R or other data software
34:59 Explanation of how to transfer newly-designed variable names to downloaded data
36:53 Updating the spec with new info (especially newly-assigned variable names)
38:15 Recapping the whole process
39:40 Clearing the test collector in anticipation of survey deployment, and administering live survey to the chat!
