Yes, a survey created in 1KA can be easily installed on a PC and then a conventional computer-assisted survey can be conducted, either with an interviewer (computer assisted personal interviewing - CAPI) or with a respondent (computer assisted self-interviewing - CASI).
Conducting a survey in the field using a laptop computer
With the so-called offline installation on a USB drive, surveys can also be carried out on laptops without an internet connection. You can download the offline version of the survey software here >>.
Technically speaking, it is most convenient to install the 1KA survey on a USB drive and run it from there; the completed surveys are of course also stored on the drive. In case of a large number of PCs running the survey, some data management is also required.
The above downloaded archive must be extracted to the USB drive. Then you can conduct your survey with the following steps:
- Launch the 1KA application by clicking 1 Start
- The 1KA survey opens in your internet browser by clicking 2 1KA survey;
- Log in to edit the survey with the default first name, last name and password admin, admin, admin;
- When you have finished editing the survey, close your internet browser and stop the 1KA application by clicking on 3 Stop. You can then safely remove your USB drive.
