Creating+Online+Forms+With+Google+Spreadsheets

toc Google Spreadsheets has included the amazing ability to create an online form. These forms can be used many ways:
 * Generate feedback
 * Conduct a needs assessment
 * Quiz your students
 * More

Once a form is created, it can be displayed as a stand-alone web page or even embedded in a wiki page or blog post.

=To Create A Form=

1. Visit Google Docs - http://docs.google.com/

2. From the menu near the top of the screen, click //New// and then //Form//.



3. You may now begin to create/edit your form.



4. Notice that there are multiple question types.



5. Below is an example of form with each question type. You may view the form by [|clicking here] (will take you to a web page with the form itself) or you may also embed the form in a wiki (like I've done below).

media type="custom" key="2887269"

=To Embed A Form=

1. While editing your form, click //More Actions// and then //Embed//.



2. Now copy the code from the window that appears.



3. After copying, you may now close that small window by clicking the X in the top right corner.

4. Now navigate to the wiki page that you want to have include the form. For the example here, I will use Wikispaces. Please keep in mind that the process is similar (but not exact) when using other wiki platforms (like [|PBWiki]) or when embedding in a blog post.

5. Edit the wiki page by clicking it's edit button.



6. Click once on the "Embed Widget" from the Editor tool bar.



7. Now select "Other HTML". Then paste in your code and click "Save".



8. Notice that your form does not actually appear until you save the wiki page. So save the wiki page.



9. Once you've saved the wiki page, voila! You've now embedded your form!

=Viewing Submitted Form Results=

1. While still editing your form, you may view submitted results by clicking on //See responses//.



2. You may then select //Summary// or //Spreadsheet//. //Summary// provides you with limited statistical analysis and //Spreadsheet// allows you to see the data.



3. Please note that to access your form again, it will appear in your Google Docs list of files. Upon opening the form anew, it will open in Spreadsheet view.
