Technology is playing an ever-increasing role in Education today.  Students and Educators have many different ways to stay in touch and provide feedback on what works best.  Online Academic Surveys can give educators the data they need to adjust course content and make better needs assessments.

Zoomerang Educational Surveys offer a full range of Educational Surveys, Student Surveys, individual Course Evaluation Surveys and Academic Surveys with dozens of pre-built templates or the option to custom-design from scratch. Some sample templates include: Course Evaluation, Student Satisfaction, Teacher/Faculty Satisfaction and Course Availability among others.

Zoomerang online surveys give you detailed information directly from the classroom targeting areas for review such as training needs, classroom conditions and course evaluations.

With Zoomerang Pro both teachers and students have full access to the tools and information they need to intelligently project future needs for project research and upcoming course evaluation studies.  Educational Survey results can easily be exported to Excel or Powerpoint.  Zoomerang Pro includes filtering and custom graphing and charting.

Information gathered from Educational Surveys have shown that 92% of parents nationwide want online access to the information and materials that are presented to their children in the classroom, but less than 50% of schools offered that information to parents.  The most important facet of online access for parents is the monitoring of missed or incomplete assignments but only 9% of surveyed parents said they would check their student’s assignments daily.  This type of transparent accessibility to data is the key to staying responsive and relevant the needs of parents, students and faculty.

Whether you are designing specific Course Evaluation Surveys or more inclusive Student Surveys, Zoomerang Pro helps you pinpoint the actual purpose of your survey and clearly delineate the goal of the survey.  The easy to use design interface will keep your surveys short, focused and as close-ended as possible.

Zoomerang Pro also offers the option to pre-test your survey with a limited audience before full-fledged deployment.

Zoomerang Pro is currently being used by many Educational Institutions.  A+ uses Zoomerang to determine how their community would like the school board governed.  The Coweta County, Georgia Board of Education has offered three different school year calendar options and used Zoomerang to survey the public to find which one they preferred.

Here are some general tips that will help in Educational Survey deployment:  Only send survey invitations Monday through Thursday.  Avoid Monday mornings as people are clearing their inboxes in preparation for the work week.  Also, send more than one reminder to people who have not previously responded as that will boost overall response numbers.  Check to see if your survey flows in a logical order; use broader questions at the beginning of the survey and progress to more narrow queries.
