With the advent of wide and rapid social communication via videoconferencing, Whatsapp, and many other virtual communication platforms, it is useful to be able to plan both virtual and physical events in an equally paced fashion.
Doodle, Meet-o-Matic, Google forms, and survey monkey all allow a questionnaire to be constructed, such that those to whom it is sent to can fill it in. The first two are better suited to yes/no questionnaires, i.e. ones where a the availability of a group of researchers may be determined. The latter two are more suited to giving detailed information such as allergies to foods when planning wedding meals, or additional needs when camping.
Some of these services charge for the premium features, though Google forms does allow for direct downloading of the response data for free (Surrey 23 Things). It should be noted however that these services should not be used for sensitive, confidential or private information.
Thanks for reading this post - here's a picture of one of my favourite animals; a humming bird!
