» Print survey
» Summary
While print surveys are able to solicit feedback from a broader
audience, one that spans any digital divides, and while they are
able, too, to provide several kinds of data, they also require much
more cost and labor, from the simple act of photocopying to the
much more arduous task of entering all the data into some electronic
form. Like all assessments, then, print surveys have advantages,
disadvantages, and value.
Advantages
- Can reach a larger population than online surveys while providing
the same kinds of data.
- Can provide both statistical and written feedback.
Disadvantages
- Need labor to compile data.
- Need good methods of distrubition and collection to get significant
sample sizes.
Value
- Print surveys offer a tailored assessment from a targeted population
and are therefore quite valuable, if the necessary resources and
distribution channels are available.
