Google Doc Forms

Google Docs recently announced the addition of Forms. You can use forms to automatically gather data for a spreadsheet. You can either email the form to people or give them a url to go to. I have tried this and it is exciting. I was planning to use it for online assessments. To create form, open a new spreadsheet, type the questions in the top line, and click the share button. You will now see an option to create a form. If you choose not to type the questions in the top line, you can add them after you have clicked share. See this page for more info. Once people have completed your form, the information will appear in your spreadsheet.
