[Yr11 Information Technology] Y11 Computing Unit 1 Outcome 1 - Survey Questions Exercise

[Paul Pascoe]

Hi everyone,

My students are going okay with making charts for Infographics using the free online tools in Infogram, Piktochart, Venngage, Canva, and Easelly.

However, they are very unclear on how to make a survey that asks the right questions to get the data needed for some meaningful analysis and good infographics.

So we are doing an exercise where we begin with the end in mind, by looking at a PPT (attached) of some survey results, and reverse engineering to figure out what would be the correct questions to ask in the Survey to obtain this data.

The plan is that from this exercise we come up with something like this for the survey questions:

Computer Gaming Survey

In this investigation we want to find out the typical gaming habits of a range of people of different ages.

(Note that the free version of Survey Monkey limits us to 10 questions)
