I have created a Reading Interest Survey for the students and bookmarked it. However, once one student completes and quits the browser, the next one can not access it. It does not open on the first page, but goes back to the “Thank you for submitting your answers” message. I tried refreshing the page, but to no avail. Any suggestions?

Hello, Danuta.

If you opened your survey and bookmarked it, the URL probably starts with “http://pro20″ This bookmark will not open a fresh survey.

To get a fresh survey, your students need to use the URL for your survey that is on the Publishing tab in your survey editor. It will look something like http://s-abcd1-99999.sgizmo.com

When a student finishes a survey and submits it, close the browser and then open it up and use the URL for your survey from the Publishing page to get a new survey for the next student.

Reading Interest Survey–what a great way to use SurveyGizmo!

Thank you, Cheri, for your prompt reply and for clarifying the issue. You are suggesting that each student should type the URL of the survey. This is not very practical in a school setting, as children will mistype it and a teacher will spend a lot of time troubleshooting. The only thing that would work is a bookmark. Besides, to get the URL to copy it, a student would have to have access to my account, which again is impossible.

I would be interested to hear how other teachers handle this problem.

Hi Danuta,

Actually you can still bookmark the survey. After you bookmark your survey right-click (or option-click if on a mac) the bookmark and then just fix the URL in the book mark to the http://s-abcd1-99999.sgizmo.com address.

This was you’ll guarantee that everyone clicking on the bookmark gets the correct (fresh) survey.

The other way you can handle this is to place a “Click here to start a new survey” link on the thank you page of your survey. That way it works like a giant cycle.

I think we are going to have to come up with a kiosk publishing option — something a little more robust as we get this question a lot.

Cheers,

-Christian
