Abstract
The Center of Excellence in Remote Sensing Education and Research (CERSER) on the campus of Elizabeth City State University often has a requirement for the collection of information from various individuals and institutions in support of the CReSIS and Cyberinfrastructure research projects. This information may be of a general nature such as registrations or surveys, but may also contain sensitive information such as Social Security numbers. The 2009-2010 Multimedia Team implemented procedures for the development of online and print data collection methods. Three different approaches were utilized to construct general data submission forms and implement them on web servers utilized by CERSER. Web-based forms were created using Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, phpMyAdmin, Google Docs, and PHP. Printable forms were produced using Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This investigation also researched the requirements and procedures required to develop a secure server for the collection of sensitive data. The implementation of a secure server will be taken up by a future research team.
