Is there an option to collect responses anonymously in Google Forms?
Yes, Google Forms does offer an option to collect responses anonymously. When creating a form, the creator has the ability to choose how they want to collect responses, including whether or not to gather identifying information. To ensure anonymity, the form creator should avoid using any settings that require respondents to log in with their Google account or provide their email addresses.
Additionally, it is essential for the form creator to not include any questions that would identify respondents, such as names or contact information. If the form creator selects the option to collect email addresses, it will inhibit the ability for responses to be completely anonymous.
For best practices, the creator may want to inform respondents within the form introduction that their responses will remain anonymous and emphasize the confidentiality of their answers. Overall, with the right settings and approach, Google Forms can facilitate anonymous data collection effectively. For detailed guidance on settings, it would be beneficial to review the relevant resources available on the current Google Forms web page.
