A First Look at the Survey

Let’s upload the survey to the Fathom Surveys website and see how it looks.

1. Click Upload Survey in the inspector’s Survey panel.

2. Enter the username and password for your Fathom Surveys account. If you are unable to get past this dialog box, contact the person who administers Fathom Surveys for your site.

If you have not yet completed the Ethics of Classroom Surveys tutorial, you will see a link to the tutorial. (Now is a good time to take it!)

When you upload your survey, two changes take place at the bottom of the Survey panel: The Upload Survey button changes to say Survey Uploaded, and a web link, View Survey, appears above the Download Results button.

3. Click the View Survey link.

Your web browser should launch and take you to the Fathom Surveys website. (You may be asked for your username and password again.)

Your survey should be similar to this one.

Viewing the survey online often makes it clear that some changes are needed before people can take it. In this case, the gender question should probably be answered with a pop-up menu, and there should be a brief set of instructions above the questions for taking the survey.
