How to Create a SurveyMonkey Account So you are interested in making a survey or quiz. What you may not realise is how extensive the range of possibilities are when you are creating a survey. SurveyMonkey offers many options when you are creating your questions and answers. You can type your own questions or you may wish to use some of the questions they have worked hard at structuring to be unbiased. You can allow your audience (of the survey/quiz) to answer open ended questions or you can provide them with a few answers, from which they choose the correct or most appropriate answer. The options aren’t limited to these, though we will explore some of the options in the instructions for creating a survey/quiz. For now you may wish to consider a reason why you would want to use a survey tool. Below I have listed some examples as to who might wish to use SurveyMonkey and what they could use it for. * A teacher could find many uses for SurveyMonkey such as making a quick maths quiz for their students to complete online (building both math and computer skills) or they could use a survey to receive feedback from the parents of their students (especially useful for new teachers who want to see whether parents are finding their new methods of teaching beneficial to the students). * The CEO of a business can use a survey to evaluate their employee’s effort and quality of work by asking customers to fill in a quick survey about the store they went to and the customer service they received. * A student who is required to find the opinions of (for example) teenagers aged 13-16 on the way they use technology can create a survey that can be completed online and can email the link to others so they can fill it in, in their own time. * Or maybe you’re just like me, trying to organise an event that everyone will enjoy and a survey is just your way of asking people what they want to do.
There are numerous benefits to using an online survey creator such as SurveyMonkey. For one, they tend to be free to use and they compile your results immediately and group the data for your convenience. As the surveys are completed online there is no need to waste paper and no time is spent making duplicates of your questions. It is also much easier to survey a larger group of people making your results more reliable.
Now I’ve got you keen to make a survey or quiz, but first you must set up an account. You may either follow the basic instructions in the blue panel below or view a printable version with a more detailed set of instructions and step-by-step diagrams (in the green panel).
