Collecting Data with Google Forms

Description

Collecting information from groups of people is important in many University roles.  Whether it’s taking sign-ups for an event, or surveying people to determine their opinions on something, having an online way to collect the data into one location is extremely helpful.  Part of your University-provided Google Workspaces for Education, Google Forms, does just that.  This session will walk participants through setting up forms both from scratch and from a template, sending completed Forms to other users to be filled out, and working with form responses.
