At the University of Alberta, we have a copy of U of Michigan's IDQ
system which allows generation of course evaluation questionnaires
from a menu of questions.  The system also accumulates reference data
to be included in the reports that are generated for each course.

The IDQ system has some significant dependencies on the MTS operating
system which we are going to lose in 1994--meaning that we're going
to have to come up with a new system.  I'm thinking of putting the
whole thing up on Oracle such that the departmental offices can
input the questionnaire requisitions and, subsequent to scanning,
request reports on their local printers.  Is anyone involved with/
aware of using this approach to course evaluations?  I am interested
in learning of others experiences with such an application.  I
remember someone asking about using SAS to manage the data/generate
the reports.  I'm not aware of replies to that request but am guessing
that SAS would not be an appropriate tool for this application.

Dan, We have considerable experince with SAS in optically input forms. We
mark thousands of examinations appraisals every year. Please put your query
into a more specific form for a reply. Thanks, Bill
