Summary: Educators and Researchers may now construct and distribute surveys via their weblog. QuestionPro.com has constructed the interface so that weblog readers will be linked to the online survey from the weblog. QuestionPro.com hosts the survey and automatically conducts your analysis as per your directions. Results of the survey are posted back to your blog. Under certain conditions use of the survey process is free to students and academics.

Seems to me that those into weblog research or online instruction might be considerably aided by adding online surveying to their tool chest. QuestionPro provides templates and conducts statistical analyses.

I have registered with QuestionPro and am now adapting a survey template for a class I will be conducting this Spring. (I will have chosen this survey process over the awkward combined surveying and testing option presently provided by Blackboard. I'm curious, how well does Moodle, the free online instruction software, do with within-course surveying?)
