Web surveys share lots of common feature with web forms. For example, radio buttons, checkboxes, and text entry boxes are the most common kind of question types in web surveys. Paper and online forms have been studied and discussed in the design and user experience literature for many years.
The web survey literature, however, hardly overlaps with the body of design and usability research on forms. This is also true the other way around.
In this keynote, Mario will build a bridge between the design and user experience literature and the web survey literature looking at the findings on forms and how we could apply them to web surveys.
