Google Docs and Event Registration

I am hosting a debate co-op this summer on campus. In order to make sure I can organize all of the students that will be attending, I needed to find an efficient way of organizing the information. Additionally, I needed to make the information readily available to both Curt and myself. Google Docs has served me well thus far in being both easy to use and professional in application.

All you need to start is a Google account. From there, you click on the documents link at the top of the page. Next, you click on "Create New" on the top right side of the page and select form. The creation of the page is very self explanatory and requires no previous knowledge of webpage programing. Here is the finished result and the registration page for the Drury Co-Op:

Registration Page

The program allows you to create questions with numerous different types of responses. Additionally, after someone completes registration, their information is filtered into an excel sheet that you can view/edit. Here is a picture of what the spreadsheet looks like:

It has most of the functions that you would find using any standard office product. Additionally, you can share the file online with other Google Account users. You can also specify if the other users can view or edit the information.

Overall, I've found the use of Google Docs to be easy and effective for what I need to accomplish and would recommend it to anyone who needs to create some sort of registration page for an event.
