Definitions for "CATi"
Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, unlike CAPI, is conducted over the telephone rather than face-to-face.
Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing: doing surveys - usually by phone - directly from a computer screen, with no printed questionnaire. There's also CAPI (computer-aided personal interviewing), and an emerging generic term CAI.
COMPUTER ASSISTED TELEPHONE INTERVIEWING. Telephone interviewing performed with the assistance of a computer. CATI systems are similar to CAPI systems in that the questionnaire items are displayed on line and the interviewer enters the respondent's answers with the keyboard or mouse. Most CATI systems perform other operations related to the management or collection of data by telephone. They may, for example, supply the interviewers with instructions, manage the sampling pool, schedule call attempts, record the outcomes of the calling effort, and/ or monitor the progress of the interviewers.
The goal of CATi project is providing the complete framework for implement the simple information systems, based on application server concept. It write on Java and Mono and use SQL database for data store.
