Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Student Survey

[Robert Heinich (robert_heinich]

Sharon,

I like your idea.

While it is wonderful to have so many interested in cohousing, answering 
surveys does take a lot of our time.

So will we create a file for our cohousing site in the yahoo group or did you 
have a different mechanism in mind.

Should anyone send the results to the students or have a contact point?

There have been so many of these surveys, I'm wondering if the time as 
come to use technology to set up a survey that stays up. A Yahoo Groups 
survey that each person living in cohousing can respond to and even 
change their responses over time. Any one who wants to can take a 
snapshot of the results at any point.

Process:
1. Set up a yahoogroup as CohousingSurvey with subscribers the list 
limited to verified cohousing residents. (A contact in each community 
verifies that a person lives in that community.)

2. Establish a lists of questions in groups of common questions -- 
demographics, community type, personal interests and education, etc. 
One group of questions could be about children, another about work, etc.

3. The current results of the poll could be sent to any of the students 
wanting data and a new set of questions posted as someone thinks of 
them.

This way, people would only have to answer the questions once and not 
feel like a curmudgeon for not being willing to answer yet another 
survey. The survey's would be much better designed as well if we did 
them ourselves.

Any interest? I can set up the list if there are a few people who are 
willing to help discuss and design the questions. Then others could 
join who are willing to respond to the questions.
