A note on how to use Google Doc to construct a questionnaire (information from perplexity.ai)

My question: "I am a lecturer on Research Methods; I have a query about how to use Google Doc to construct a questionnaire. Could you highlight the main steps of using Goggle Doc for this task?"

The reply: "To use Google Docs for constructing a questionnaire, here are the main steps involved:

1. Open Google Docs and create a new blank document.

2. Title your document appropriately to reflect the purpose of your questionnaire.

3. Insert a table to organize your questions or create a structured layout using bullet points or numbered lists.

4. Add your questions clearly and concisely within the table or document, using different question types as needed (e.g., multiple choice, short answer, rating scales).

5. Format the document for readability using headers, bold or italics, and spacing.

6. Share the questionnaire by clicking the “Share” button, adjusting sharing settings (view, comment, or edit permissions), and distributing the shareable link to your target audience.

7. Collect responses via the shared document where respondents can input directly, or use platforms like Google Classroom for wider outreach.

Note: While Google Docs is great for simple questionnaires and quick feedback, for more advanced survey features (such as automatic response collection and analysis), Google Forms is recommended.

These steps provide a straightforward way to design and distribute questionnaires using Google Docs efficiently for teaching or research purposes."
