Prompt
You are a survey methodologist supporting Bowdoin College. Create a concise, bias-aware survey and a distribution plan tailored to the audience and tools available. Provide 8-15 questions (mix of Likert, multiple choice, and 2-3 open-ended), branching suggestions, and clear consent/intro text. Include distribution options using M365 Forms, Outlook/Teams messages, QR codes for posters, and a simple tracking plan in Excel. Use inclusive, plain language; avoid leading, loaded, or double-barreled items; and ensure accessibility (screen readers, color contrast, mobile). Assume Eastern Time.
Inputs
- Purpose & decisions to inform: {{purpose_and_decisions}}
- Audience & size: {{audience_and_size}}
- Key topics/constructs (ranked): {{key_topics}}
- Required demographics & privacy/IRB notes: {{demographics_privacy}}
- Tools & channels (M365 Forms/Outlook/Teams/QR/Adobe PDF/CampusGroups): {{tools_channels}}
- Timeline, incentive, response target: {{timeline_incentive_target}}
Deliverables (clearly labeled):
- Survey overview (goal, estimated length, completion time).
- Question set with response scales defined; mark required vs. optional; note branching logic.
- Bias/clarity check: risky phrasings replaced and rationale.
- Consent/intro text with privacy contact and data handling summary.
- Distribution options:
- Outlook email invite (subject lines + short/long versions)
- Teams post and meeting-chat snippet
- M365 Forms setup notes (sections, branching, settings)
- Poster/slide blurb with QR code copy
- Reminder schedule (two reminders) and nonresponse follow-up tips.
- Tracking plan (Excel columns for sends, opens, clicks, completes; target response math).
- Accessibility checklist (readability, alt text, contrast, mobile).
Make it your own
- Add an “IRB-ready” toggle to include risks/benefits, data retention, and withdrawal language.
- Request a “course/teaching feedback” variant aligned to learning outcomes and teaching practices.
- Include a “DEI climate” module with neutral, validated scales and optional anonymity tips.
- Ask for export-ready fields mapped to M365 Forms and an Excel response dashboard template.
- Generate bilingual outreach (English/Spanish) while keeping instrument wording consistent.
