Revision as of 14:03, 16 November 2014
the system mentioned on this page is currently in beta testing phase
LimeSurvey is a popular open source system for making and publishing surveys. All students and staff of the Faculty of Social Sciences can use it.
Log on to survey.socsci.ru.nl/admin with your university number and password. Invitations to surveys can be send with a direct link to the survey (e.g. https://survey.socsci.ru.nl/index.php/687521?lang=en) or by referring to the main survey page survey.socsci.ru.nl. Note that in the latter case the participant has to find the survey in a list. By default surveys are not listed on the main page. Change this in the survey settings if you wish. The preferred way is using direct links.
Data Storage
Surveys and collected data are stored on campus. The server is not to be used for long term data storage. Surveys and data will be removed after a year without prior warning.
Video
LimeSurvey supports the use of video in surveys. The manual only describes the use of Flash video. Flash is not supported by all browsers. It is better to use .mp4 video as described below.
First upload the video. Do this the same way that you upload images. You will not see a preview. There is no need to change anything about the settings.
Click the source button and change the img tag into a video tag. The 640x480 video monitor.mp4 would show up as:
<img alt="" src="/upload/surveys/397931/images/monitor.mp4" />
and must be changed into:
<video width="640" height="480">
</video>
Do the demonstration survey to see the result.
