Where can I create a form or survey?
You have three options when needing to create a form:
The first option is to use Google Forms.
Google Forms is a tool that allows collecting information from users via a personalized survey or quiz. The information is then collected and automatically connected to a spreadsheet. The spreadsheet is populated with the survey and quiz responses.
More information can be found here.
If the Google solution isn't sufficient for your needs you can use Qualtrics.
