WHAT IS GOOGLE FORMS?

Google Forms is a tool within Google Drive for creating online survey forms. It is not as feature-rich as SelectSurvey, but it does support basic data validation, basic skip logic, and a range of question types. Your Fitchburg State Google Drive account adds several useful options to your Google Forms, including the ability to require survey-takers to be logged into their Fitchburg State Google accounts. 

WHY USE GOOGLE FORMS?

• Easy to learn.
• Can access your form or your data from any computer connected to the internet.
• Survey responses are automatically recorded in a Google Spreadsheet, and can be downloaded in several common formats (including *.xlsx, *.ods, and *.csv).
• Can require users to be logged into their Fitchburg State accounts in order to view or complete the form - useful for instructors.
