SoGoSurvey, a leading provider of online survey software for higher education, is excited to announce the availability of a dedicated set of online sample surveys for colleges and universities. These field-tested sample surveys include a course evaluation, graduation survey, and alumni survey. Using these templates results in unbiased feedback, higher student response rates, and easier interpretation of results.
Any institution of higher education, whether public, private, or commercial, can quickly customize the sample surveys, distribute them via email, and take action on the results, which are displayed both graphically and statistically, as well as easily exported to third-party analysis tools.
“Our number one customers are colleges and universities. As word spreads, SoGoSurvey is emerging as the platform of choice for universities. It’s replacing entrenched, outmoded tools that have frustrating interfaces and substandard reporting,” said Haris Azmi, chief marketing officer.
With increasing competition for student dollars, schools have to work harder at differentiating themselves, particularly when it comes to teacher performance. In addition, they need to make this collective intelligence available to students for making course selections. Overall, course evaluations are a valuable tool for improving the quality of instruction.
However, universities face challenges in creating surveys, getting students to respond, and interpreting the results. With SoGoSurvey’s new sample surveys for higher education, it’s easy for educators to:
For example, to launch a course evaluation, educators would follow these steps:
1. Click on a sample course evaluation from the Survey Library for surveys in university
2. Change, add, or delete questions
3. Distribute the survey
4. Click a report to see the results
Beginners can also create their own surveys with SoGoSurvey’s Quick Survey Builder, which guides users through the process. To encourage students to respond, SoGoSurvey includes features for tracking participation and sending automated reminders.
SoGoSurvey’s one-click reporting displays survey results both graphically and statistically, making it easy to interpret results. If desired, this data can also be exported to Excel or SPSS for further data manipulation and analysis. Ease of use and powerful reporting are the main reasons why Joseph Shields, professor of marketing at Carthage College, chose SoGoSurvey: “I was blown away by how easy the product was to use, and yet had the incredible depth to do everything I wanted to do, including customized reports.”
SoGoSurvey helps universities overcome the many challenges associated with getting valuable feedback from students. Its intuitive, point-and-click interface and ready-to-launch sample surveys minimize the steps needed to create surveys. And its in-depth reporting simplifies analysis so educators can take action on what matters most—building relationships and improving the learning experience.
