Zoomerang is an online survey creator. It offers free templates, has importing capabilities from Word and any other text file. Tag Cloud, is one tool that Zoomerang offers that makes it easier to analyze open-ended questions. It is more than just a survey creator; it can populate lifestyle, demographics, occupation, geography and more through its general population panelist.

Demos, webinars and tutorials are found on the site to help create the best survey possible, in a matter of minutes. Zoomerang, offers statistical analysis to measure survey results. Consumers will save time, be networked with people profiles globally and users are assisted by qualified approved personnel.

Zoomerang can be used in just about any educational setting. An example on how I would use this as a class assignment would be to have students formulate questions they want to know about a subject, or anything that they may be interested in learning more about. Then I would have them research the area of interest, and have them formulate questions they could direct their peers to answer about the subject.

For Fashion Merchandising, I would assign 2 designers and have students pick 1 designer of their choice. They will have to research each designer and create a survey using zoomerang. The survey will consist of 5 questions for each designer to answer. Select students in the class will answer the surveys. They will then compile the results from the survey each student created, and make a spreadsheet to display the results of the statistical information, such as race, gender, age, etc... which would be an entirely different lesson.

Zoomerang is a great tool for any groups, associations, class, and more. I created a survey to use with my AR project. It can be viewed at :
