Using iPads as a Data Collection Tool in Extension Programming Evaluation
Rowntree, J. E.; Witman, R. R.; Lindquist, G. L.; Raven, M. R.
Journal of Extension, v51 n4 Article 4TOT1 Aug 2013
Program evaluation is an important part of Extension, especially with the increased emphasis on metrics and accountability. Agents are often the point persons for evaluation data collection, and Web-based surveys are a commonly used tool. The iPad tablet with Internet access has the potential to be an effective survey tool. iPads were field tested at a grazing conference to assess their efficacy as a data collection tool. Participants with prior iPad experience found them easy to use, while some novice users had difficulty completing the survey. The high mobility of the iPads was a distinct advantage over laptops.
