GOOGLE FORMS
Google Forms is now a full-featured forms tool that comes free with your Google
account. You can add standard question types, drag-and-drop questions in the order
you like, customize the form with simple photo or color themes, and gather responses
in Forms or save them to a Google Sheets spreadsheet.
4 Reasons to Use Google Forms with Your Students
1. Ask Various Types of Questions
Google Forms allows you to ask both open-ended and closed-ended questions. You can use drop down menus, multiple choice,
checklists, rating scales, and short answers text boxes to gather data.
Click New
GOING TO GOOGLE FORMS
Hover your mouse to More > Google Forms and choose
Blank Forms
When you want to give them limited options. These are easier to analyse afterwards as these standardize the
answer format, i.e. no room for interpretation or misspelling. However, in tests these are usually easier than
answers which require the form-filler to write in an answer.
You can open up the options by offering the “Other” option, where the form filler writes in an alternative
response. This can be usual in questionnaires, where you don’t always know all the possible responses that the
form-fillers will come up with.
Basically the same as multiple-choice questions, except that the form-filler doesn’t see the options until they click
on the drop-down menu.
This is useful if the question has a lot of options, so you save space on your form, or where you have a lot of
questions and what to save space on the page, to make the form look smaller and therefore, look quicker to fill
out.
When you want to collect someone’s opinion numerically on a scale. You can change the scale, but it must start with either a 0 or
a 1, and can go up to 10.
The scale runs from the lowest on the left and the highest on the right. You can give the extremes a label, e.g. Poor / Excellent.
Despite this, we’ve had times where people have misread this and assumed the left-hand side was the best, so resulting in a 1
rather than a 5.
As this records a number, it can make analysing a bit easier than with text comments.
The rows are the different questions or areas, and the columns are usually the opinions, but you could set it up for
other uses too. It’s like having lots of multiple-choice questions joined together.
You can also make the form-filler add a response for each row, by clicking on the “Require one response per row”
slider button.
When you want to record a date, this option is usual as it controls the format of the date, e.g. DD/MM/YYYY (the
most common format). The date format will depend on where you live, e.g. in the US it will be MM/DD/YYYY,
and will depend on your Google account settings. The form-filler will be able to either type in the date or select
one from the calendar by clicking on the inverted triangle.
E.g. Recording someone’s date of birth, recording start and finish dates
DIFFERENT KINDS OF QUESTIONS
TIME
Similar to the date, this is usual when you want to control the format of a time
question. It’s in digital format, i.e. XX:XX, but the form-filler can enter the time
using the 12h or 24h clock.
E.g. Referring to a specific timetable
DUPLICATING QUESTIONS
Click the duplicate icon on the left side of the trash (delete) icon to make a copy of
the chosen question
DELETE QUESTIONS
Click the trash or delete icon to remove the question
ADDING REQUIRED RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS
Enable Required switch for questions that is required for participants to respond.
ADDING MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
For multiple choice sample, Add as many options as needed.
CUSTOMIZING ANSWERS
You can customize the answers, if the answer is not available in the options, click the Add “Other”. If
you want to insert an image as an answer, hover your mouse next to left of remove or x button of the
option answer
And a pop-up insert image window will appear to browse the image that you will insert.
IMPORT FORMS
If you want to copy the questions from your saved forms, click
the import questions
Click the add title and description if you want to add another title and description
after the question. This is usually inputted to separate questions and give more
detailed explanation on the next question.
ADD IMAGE
Click add image if you want to add image as part of your question
ADD VIDEO
Click Add Video if you want to add video as part of your question
ADD NEW SECTION WITH GOOGLE FORMS
Click Add Section if you want to add another set of question as a section. This is very
valuable to break up a very lengthy form.
CUSTOMIZE THEME
One of the first things you might want to do after you create a new
blank form is give it a bit of personality. Google Forms lets you
customize the theme and help it stand out by adding an image, color,
and font style.
Click the artist’s palette at the top of the screen. From here, you can
choose a header image from one of the many stock photos provided (or
upload one of your own), the primary color of the form, the
background color, and font style.
SHOWING PREVIEW
Click the eye or preview button to show the preview. It will open a new tab that will
show the preview or the exact same thing of your form for the users or participants.
Careful note, on preview, do not click submit as it will affect the result of the
respondents of your created forms which will skew your data.
CONFIGURING GENERAL SETTINGS
Click the settings cog to open the settings configuration
The first tab has a few settings you can enable. From here, you
can collect email addresses and limit each person to one
submission. You can also choose whether respondents can edit
their answers after they’re submitted or see a summary chart at
the end of the survey.
As people answer each question in the form, their responses dynamically appear in
the selected Google Sheet spreadsheet.
