First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a survey component generator operable to provide survey components for display within a designer view of a user interface for selection by a survey designer, and further operable to generate an editable instance of each of a plurality of selected ones of the survey components, for display and editing within a participant view of the user interface; and
a survey assembler operable to receive edited instances of the plurality of selected survey components displayed in the participant view of the user interface, for assembly into a survey for output to a survey participant.

Abstract
A survey generation system is described that allows a survey designer to design and implement a survey for obtaining feedback from participants of the survey. Survey components are displayed within a first portion of a user interface, where each survey component is associated with a type of survey question. The survey designer may select one or more of the survey components by “dragging and dropping” the selected survey component to a second portion of the user interface, where the survey generation system automatically creates an editable instance of the selected survey component and corresponding question type. The survey designer may enter a desired question, and associated answer choices, if any. In this way, the survey designer designs the survey in an easy, fast, and intuitive manner, and, in particular, views the survey as it will appear to the participant, even during the design of the survey.

17. A user interface comprising:
-
a first portion for displaying survey components that are each associated with a type of survey question; and
