Last Updated: December 01, 2011

Selected questions were developed by Bart Drees and Kathy Flanders for pages ranking high on Google Analytics where changes in behavior, satisfaction or other program outcomes were anticipated.

There were five pilot mini-survey questions (see below). Data generated will include: 1) the number of page hits in addition to the respondent numbers to calculate percent response; 2) mean responses for each question; and 3) tabulation/listing of comments.

 

Five test questions currently available are:

  1. Are there any home remedies that will kill fire ants?
  2. Which fire ant bait should I use?
  3. Fire Ant Habitat and Food Sources
  4. Fire Ant Control: The Two-Step Method and Other Approaches
  5. Fire Ant Control Made Easy Video

 

Michael Lambur developed the text box for posting and spreadsheets for compiling responses in Google docs.  Text boxes were embedded into selected pages by clicking the URLs on Google Docs forms and then embedding them in each page.

By September 13, 2011, five Mini-Surveys had been posted on the Imported Fire Ant eXtension Community of Practice (CoP) website. Similar mini-surveys may show potential for outcome program assessment by other eXtension Communities of Practice.
