Survey Website

< >

Description

This web application was created as part of my internship to capture longitudinal data from children to identify if they are in a gang. As the surveys were designed for children, they had to have gamification to keep the children’s attention. All illustrations were created by Melissa Boxall.

Avatar Creator

The website allows children to create their own avatar which will pop-up on screen to offer advice on some questions or tell them they have missed questions and if they are sure they want to proceed. They can change their clothes, shoes, hair style, ethnicity and body type.

Badges

Once a child has completed a survey, they are able to choose a badge which they would give children an incentive to collect as many badges as possible. Where children could compete to get more badges than their peers.

Hidden Animals

Animals were hidden throughout the survey to give children a chance to explore the whole page of the survey.

Admin account

To extract data from surveys the website has an admin access portal. This enables admins to authorise or decline students which have registered to the service. Extract survey data in a CSV file which can be used with SPSS to analysis the results fully. Create new schools and select what surveys they will be using.

Security

As this website would be open for anyone to access it was imperative that the website had security measures. Security issues which were addressed included: SQL injections, cross site scripting, cross site request forgery and encryption on the database.

Technical Details

The website was developed using a WAMP/LAMP stack using the CodeIgniter Framwork.
