About The Project
Questionnaires in paper form are more and more replaced with digital equivalents, but those are often hardly adaptable to one’s individual wishes. To simplify the use of digital questionnaires, this Python-based open-source framework was developed, that allows to create diverse questionnaires without any programming knowledge. The software has a graphical user interface as well as the possibility to edit the entire questionnaire structure in one configuration text file. Many common question and answer types are already implemented, but the selection will be extended. Furthermore, interfaces for communication with other software and systems are possible, for example OSC. The software is designed so that different components can also run on different computers.
