Abstract More institutional researchers view the World Wide Web as a vehicle to gather and display information, but initiatives to expand survey research to the Web have had mixed results. This investigation compares students who used a Web interface with those who used a traditional paper-and-pencil format to respond to one of three surveys. The authors compare students’ responses, response rates and demographic characteristics by their method of response. Students responded more frequently to multi-paged surveys using paper-and-pencil formats. Men were more likely than women to respond to the Web format; increases in Web responses were highest for freshmen and sophomores. Percentages of students who responded using the Web doubled over a two-year period. Data suggest that as students gain comfort with the Web, responses to Web-based surveys will increase.
