I dont' mean to yell, but I've been struggling with this all day. It took me hours to get moodle installed (I'll blame it on my host, 1and1...).

Anyway, I'm working on a project. I'm attempting to make a standalone kiosk survey with the following features:

1. Branching (question 1 is "do you wanna be surveyed in english or spanish?")

2. Doesn't look like 1995. In other words, I can design the buttons, add background images, etc etc. It's not just html buttons.

3. User data is recorded anonymously, and I can view it all in one table (I don't want to see an individual's scores; I want to see how many people answered "B" to question 12, "C" to question 9, etc.

I haven't yet decided on software for developing the quiz/survey yet, but I've tried a few, and will probably go with Adobe Captivate (or Director, but I haven't tried that yet). I'm open to opinions.

I've uploaded a little sample quiz/survey to moodle, and after playing around for some time, I'm starting to think maybe moodle can't do what I need it to.

Specifically, I'd like to know if moodle can:

1. Combine results from all the users into a meaningful data set. All I see now is individual user's results. I need the answers to each question from every user added up.

2. The quiz/survey needs to be the only thing the user "does". They can't be made to create a username/password for moodle, select a course or quiz, or any of that. They walk up to the kiosk, and the animated survey is running with the first question waiting to be answered. When they're done, it goes back to the first question to wait for the next user.

Here's the temp site:

the Quizmaker test was made in quizmaker, and the contraceptive survey was made in Captivate. Don't mind that they look like garbage.

You can use for example lesson for branching

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Adding_a_branch_table

and if moodle does not give such reports you want

http://docs.moodle.org/en/Quiz_reports

you can download the results as excel table to any statistical program (or Excel) and make further analysis.

Or you could use any open source or commercial survey programs outside moodle with link or embedded and let those programs/scripts do the job... for example LimeSurvey (former phpSurveyor)

Thanks for the response. The branching feature will be built into the survey authoring software (Quizmaker, Captivate), and I've already got that pretty much figured out.

thanks for pointing me to the quiz reports. it looks like I need this:

I think you might be better off using a dedicated online survey provider.

I recently used Survey Gizmo and found it
very good (http://www.surveygizmo.com/)

There are free and paid versions available,
it has good reporting facilities,
it generates accessible surveys,
and you can make it look quite well.
