Perhaps because I retired from IBM after 30 years of service ... my idea
of information management is to use a relational database. Now I have my
own independent research project on sustainability and related issues
... and self-publish a monthly open access e-journal on sustainable
development (pelicanweb.org).
At the moment, I am working on an online survey about education for
sustainable development. The goal is to determine how citizens can best
be motivated to support (via the democratic process) changes to the
current maze of incentives/subsidies so as to encourage more investment
in "green" projects. Everyone is cordially invited to participate, and
this is the link to the survey form:
http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dER6YnFIUXI4bW0yNTU4YThOaHJkTWc6MA..
I am using Google Docs for records management (it is clumsy, but free).
The database is basically an excel-like spreadsheet where respondents'
inputs are recorded after they submit a completed survey form. A nice
feature is a summary analysis report (with histograms) that can be
generated and disseminated to the respondents who entered their email
address. The spreadsheet can be exported to an excel file that can be
downloaded for further analysis.
Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Luis
