Meeting with Prof. Brewer: Drupal Info

Wednesday November 30, 2011:

We met with Professor Brewer today to learn more about Drupal, another option to make the form in. He told us:

-t's web-based
-dependable - the White House uses it!
-can have pop-up menus, multiple choice, blank spaces
-can looks at survey results as a table and as analysis
-can get report statistics
-could generate a pdf of the report
-can add additional comments at end of survey (but not after each question)
-multiple views of data results
-Webform can generate e-mails
-could write a custom app for ipad, but difficult (need maintenance)
Cons:
-each teacher would have to set up an account in order to see the survey results for their in-class reviews (some less tech-savvy teachers may need to learn how to use website)
-have to build in security from ground up
-needs upkeep - maintain and support it over time
-Drupal needs to be at hosting service to be useful
-need certain things on computer to install Drupal
