EDUCEDGE,

howdy friends,

I am so excited about this that I’ve got to share.

You mostly realized by now that you must pay for a professional account on SurveyMonkey in order to get unlimited questions for your surveys (otherwise limited to 10 questions).

This also allows you to request for the html to be activated on your account (only professional accounts get it). Just email SurveyMonkey and they do it within the hour (I found the activation request link when I looked in the FAQs and click on ‘how to add html in my survey’). This means -among other things- that you can embed a video in your Survey! For that, go to your video hosting location, YouTube, Veoh, whatever, collect the html code (i.e., copy from the ‘embed’ window provided by the host), paste it in your SurveyMonkey window (in the edit page of course). save. et voila.

Your students now do not need to exit the Survey in order to watch your video (or listen to your podcast, view a picture, etc.). Once they are done, they can continue to the post survey or whatever else you need them to do.

Isn’t this excellent? no need to build a website! It’s all confined to your survey page!

ok, that’s for my discoveries today. And thanks again Lorah.
