Vorex Upgrades Web-based Data Collection Tool for Schools

Vorex has released an update to its Vorex Online Survey, a Web-based data collection tool designed to allow schools to collect information and gather feedback from education stakeholders.

Aimed at both K-12 and higher education, Vorex Online Survey is offered as software as a service (SaaS) and allows both educators and administrators to easily create and distribute online surveys and forms.

The new version 1.4, released last week, offers 17 different question types, a built-in spell checker, conditional questions, new collaboration features (including sharing collected information with multiple users), and new organization tools. Other features include:

  • Export to Excel, Word, HTML, or PDF;
  • Optional password requirements;
  • Password protection for posted survey results; and
  • Free access to a Vorex-supplied Web portal for institutions that do not have their own portals to house the surveys.

Vorex Online Survey 1.4 is available now. A free one-week demo is also available. Further information can be found here.

    ChatGPT creator OpenAI is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
