that you can use in gathering data where face to face meeting with your
respondents is limited because of the current situation.

Introducing, Google Forms. You may have heard about it, but for this lesson

using this application. Google Forms is a survey management app that is
included along with Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides in the
Google Drive office suite. Forms features all the functions of collaboration and
sharing found in Docs, Sheets and Slides.
Google Forms is a tool that allows users to collect information through a
survey, feedback or quiz. The information is the complied and linked
automatically to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is full of survey responses
and question responses
