Description of challenges faced (Are there any difficulties teachers/learners might face?)

The only problem is that students try to ask too many questions > check, if the answer needs not more than 3 minutes.

Detailed description

Many students are afraid of even simple research using questionnaires. They are not aware of really simple tools like Google Forms, enabling delivery of online questionnaires literary in few minutes and simple statistical data analysis almost instantly.

Learning Activities / Implementation

  1. Ask students to prepare a set of no more than 10 questions, some of them closed, and some open
  2. Define the target group. Identify on-line places they are present, and best possible ways of accessing them (by e-mail; social networks; discussion forums; on websites etc)
  3. Use Google Forms (a part of Google Docs) to prepare online questionnaire
  4. Populate it by channels identified in step 2
  5. Analyze data both using Excel and Summary report of Google Forms
