Survey-tool
Create, conduct and analyse surveys with LimeSurvey

Using the open source tool LimeSurvey, online surveys can be created and analysed in compliance with data protection regulations without any programming knowledge.

The surveys are used via a browser. They can either be publicly accessible, alternatively password-protected or made individually accessible to participants using a “one-time only” token.

A login with TU-ID is required to create, manage and analyse a survey.

Notes

Courses are evaluated using standardised questionnaires that are coordinated with each department. The tool EvaSys is used for this purpose.

User groups

The survey tool is available to all members (students, employees, researchers, lecturers, doctoral candidates) of TU Darmstadt.

A TU-ID is required to create surveys. Participation in surveys is also possible for external users.
