This is a simple survey generator that posts results using a standard form post (storing in SCORM is a work-in-progress). It supports text entry, dropdowns, likert ranges, multiple choices, true/false questions, labels, paging, and probably other things.
It does NOT have conditional logic, branching paths, esoteric abstractions, AI integration up-the-wazoo like many other survey systems. This is not a survey system. It's a glorified form helper.
The survey uses a simple parsed language to turn plain text into the survey questions, so you don't have to know any code. It renders using standard html form controls and concepts.
- There is no concept of numbered questions, only responses.
- Questions can be grouped by adding a 'page:' identifier, which results in subsequent questions being part of a new fieldset, and are only a visual change (does not appear in results).
- Statements can be grouped by dichotomy.
- Lines without a type are ignored.
- Unanswered questions are reported as empty.
- There is no concept of required items.
- Results are in the format statement:answer or statement:answer1,answer2,answerN.
- you can use a service like formsubmit.co to capture responses (or wait till I implement Scorm!)
The survey is generated from plain text.
example
Initialisation code used in this example:
the url is where it submits to
url: https://formsubmit.co/b6a16f20c30551573ce803b59fc63704

fillin:[5]
Tell something personal about yourself
page:other details
label:everything that doesn't match is a comment. the first line of a label has a classname to differentiate it.
labels are possible
even multiline labels <strong>with tags</strong>.
because this line doesn't start with the correct word, this isn't a label and should be ignored.
The next tag is also ignored since it doesn't match to a known handler.
bokers:[1,2,3]
it looks like it should work
doesn't it?
label: Choices use checkboxes instead of radios and their answers are CSV
choices:[Tracks,Roads,Streets,Avenues]
