Once I finished my draft, I prepared to send out my pilot survey. A pilot survey is a draft you send out to a small percentage of your target population. Pilot surveys are conducted to ensure the survey is accurate and to evaluate different aspects of it such as duration, difficulty, and such. I sent my pilot survey around to five people and looked over their responses regarding the quality, accuracy, and clarity of the survey. I asked them these questions: I had to make a few changes to some questions. For example, I realized that I should not have made this question compulsory to answer since only people who are new to the site should answer this question. Another change I made was deleting unnecessary questions. I deleted the question pictured below because it is biased and does not give the respondent two different choices (yes and no). All of the answers are affirmative. I also had the respondents tell me how long it took for them to complete the survey to

Today I worked on my pilot survey and I finished writing all of my questions. I went through my desk review to analyze my questionnaire to check if it is ready to be sent around. Desk reviews help me identify what needs to be written or fixed. It assists me in checking for bias in my questions, and to see if all of them are relevant and meets the purpose of the survey and the needs of the people who asked me to do this survey.

I am starting to develop my survey questions to fit the audience of a site such as the Greymouth High School website. I have the link to the document here:  Survey Questions . I will add a link to the first draft of my survey here:  First Draft I also created an infographic about how to design surveys. 

AS91263 — Types of Questions When I am designing my survey I needed to think about... Open and Closed Questions Closed Questions Avoids overlap of numeric categories Provides all alternatives Is specific Includes everyone Order of questions may influence responses Open Questions Asks only one question at a time. Uses correct grammar and simple language. Non-biased questions Not personal and/or upsetting Easy to answer; short Use both open and closed questions to get a range of responses from people.     One of my objectives is to find out the kinds of people who visited the website. Personal information (excl. home address, card information, SSN) Age range/group Ethnicity Gender Connection to the school Personal income If they are domestic or international The next objective is to find out their satisfaction... Using the Likert Scale Why they feel that way Were they able to find what they were looking for? The next objective

This is a scenario for my Maths assessment on Questionnaire Design. I have been commissioned to look at the Greymouth High School website and the principal wants me to find out: the kinds of people who visit the school website their reasons for visiting the school website the parents/students' satisfaction with the information available on the school website their satisfaction with the services the school offers I figured out the possible purposes of a school website:
