Interesting observations on the distinction between surveys and assesments, Samir. We'd be primarily interested in using such a package for large survey projects and our additions to the package's requirements point to a couple of other areas where differences might come into play - participant management and notification. Here's our short list:
- Summary page for respondents to review/print answers.
- Notifications for survey author (for following up with participants who did not respond) and/or a nice interface for author to track respondents.
- Initial participant notification. It must be easy to notify large participant groups. Anyone using the package for surveys will likely have large groups of participants (who aren't likely to be users on the system) to stick into the DB and notify.
Also, does anyone have experience with any of the commercial options out there? A brief competitive analysis or discussion of features might be useful.
