PASW Data Collection Survey Presentation

Course description:

Attendees will have attended the first Dimensions Scripting (Survey Creation I) course and will have successfully developed and deployed a couple of surveys using the techniques covered in the first course. This follow-on course assists the attendee in building more diverse presentation formats for their surveys. Attendees will be introduced to the architecture used to render Dimensions surveys and how traditional browser technologies interact with the survey creation. Starting off by examining a “branded” website and identifying the aspects which are important to get into the look and feel of a survey, the attendee then, through practical experience, will learn how to manipulate the majority of aspects of the presentation of a survey by adding images, presenting the survey within a website or pop-up window, changing the survey or question template or using the interaction of Styles and page template. The course finishes with a discussion of best practice tips and tricks.
