Open Source Surveys with Asset

Abstract

At Seton Hall University we developed Asset, a web-based Academic Survey System and Evaluation Tool to design, administer, and analyze surveys. This free, Open-Source project is widely used at our institution and has even been approved for electronic voting. Other universities have also successfully deployed the project. In this article we will introduce the Asset system, describe its design principles and capabilities, and compare it to similar tools. We will include a discussion of sample surveys using Asset and briefly describe the requirements for installing the system.
