The system includes electronic software modules of tasks useful in generating of questionnaires for recording research data. By selecting, modifying and sequencing the modules, a researcher generates a sequence of questionnaires to be displayed on the computer devices operated by the research participants. The participants' computer devices include alert queues to stage questionnaires to be presented to a participant and resolve conflicts between questionnaires staged at substantially the same time.
