How To Use Google Docs As A Slick Survey Tool. Add this one to the list of “cool Google features I really should have already known about.” Google Docs, in addition to being a stellar way to write, store and manage your documents and slideshows, is also a fantastically useful way to collect survey data. Basically, you send out a form, people fill it in, and Google reports the documents back to you in an incredibly simple and easy-to-understand fashion.

To get started, sign in at Google Docs. If you have a Gmail account, you have a Google Docs account. If you don’t, come out from that rock you live under, boot up the computer, and get yourself a Gmail account. Once you’re logged in, click “New,” and then “Form.” Give your form a title and an explanation. Type the first question into the “Question title” field. Fill in all the available answers, choose whether or not to make it a required question (i.e. do they have to answer this one before sending in the survey?) Once you’ve finished creating your form, it’s time to get responses. Infographics & Data Visualizations.
