Overview: JISC online surveys

JISC Online Surveys (formerly Bristol Online Survey - BOS), is an easy-to-use online tool for creating, distributing and analysing surveys. It is entirely web-based with no limits on the number of surveys you can create or the number of respondents you can have. It also allows surveys to be shared and supports collaborative survey development. Visit the Online Surveys support web site for more information.

Online Surveys V3 was released in September 2023. This supersedes Online Surveys V2, which was retired on July 31st, 2024.
