Paper Abstract:
|
This paper reports on the design, implementation and evaluation of XwQuest, a web tool for responding to questionnaires
on the Web. The distinctive feature of this tool is an XML definition of the questionnaire that focus on questions and
admissible answers while avoiding presentation details. This questionnaire definition is processed on the browser side
and converted to an Ajax application. Collected responses are periodically sent back to the server and can be retrieved by
researchers and processed on a standard spreadsheet program. The paper details the questionnaire language of XwQuest
and a generator that converts them into Ajax applications. Two case studies where XwQuest was actually used with good
results are also presented. |
