I am building a flash-drive based tool for project managers in humanitarian emergencies. In order to sort through the large number of resources contained on the drive, I would like to create a survey that identifies which documents from the library are relevant to a particular context based on how the user responds to some guiding questions.
The issue I have faced with the survey software that I am currently using (SurveyGold) is that once the manager reaches the end of the decision-tree for a section of the survey there seems to be only two undesirable options - 1. Provide the name of the appropriate file but with no way to capture it (counting on the user to cut & paste the document name will greatly weaken the useability of the tool). 2. Go into the coding and hyperlink the document name to the location on the flash drive except that takes the user away from the survey instead of moving them on to the next section.
The most elegant solution would be to complete the survey and be presented with a hyperlinked listing of the resources that are matched to the responses provided. If that could be saved as a file then the user could return to it and have it as a guiding reference.
What would be the best method and/or software to achieve this end?
I have never used SurveyGold, so my opinion is biased...
this sounds like a Flash-based application to me... you just need to setup your branched logic in an XML document or something like that... and then have all of your resources pulled from that XML document as well.
let me know if you want to pursue a Flash methodology
