*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
