Heather,

We have also used SurveyMonkey.com for online surveys and it does have a
number of handy features.  There are other similar online survey tools out
there that perhaps others can speak to.  However, in order to do in-depth
data analysis, statistical software is really what you need.  We use SPSS
(Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).  It's not cheap and there is
a learning curve if you are unfamiliar with statistical software, but SPSS
or something similar is really what you need to get the most out of your
data.

Hello,



I am interested in finding out what computer or online-based software
programs ARE used for data analysis at science centers and what purpose
they serve.  For instance, we have used surveymonkey.com for
online-based survey creation, distribution and collection of pre and
post data in our teacher professional development program.  If you have
any input, please email me.  Thanks!
