Learn the difference between the two and when you might use each option.
Whispli provides you with two options for building an informant questionnaire to use in your Channel. The first option is to have a simple questionnaire that is contained on one page. The second option is to have a multi-page or stepped questionnaire. The questionnaire format you use depends on what you are trying to achieve, the length of your questionnaire, and the progression you want an informant to go through.
One-Page Questionnaire
The one-page questionnaire is very simple as the informant goes through the questions sequentially and provides answers, and once they are done they can then submit the questionnaire anonymously.
When you would use a one-page questionnaire?
-
You have a very simple questionnaire.
-
Your questionnaire is relatively short and informants will not drop off the questionnaire due to its length.
-
You want to keep everything on one page and make it simple for the informant to fill in and submit a report.
Multi-Page or Stepped Questionnaire
A multi-page questionnaire in Whispli allows you to segment your questions into different pages or tabs, which helps you break up the questionnaire.
When would you use a multi-page or stepped questionnaire?
-
You have a rather long questionnaire and you want to show the informant their progression through the questionnaire.
-
The questionnaire is more complicated and you want to split it up into different sections.
-
You want to have each section or step to have a different theme or focus to help the informant provide more information or context.
