Conducting experiments online

Nick

Hello everyone,
I've been searching (without success) for a software which would enable me to create and conduct simple experiments online. I was wondering if you could help me and point me in the right direction. I am a linguistics student, so the experiments I would like to do would be simple modifications of lexical decision/picture naming tasks. Unfortunately I do not know how to code these myself from scratch. Is there a free software/solution to help me with this?
Thanks for your help!

Hi Nick,

As we discussed, the online experiments here could be modified to fit your needs, but it would take a reasonable knowledge of Javascript/ HTML5 to do so.

PsyToolkit can apparently run in a browser as well, although they state the following:

(...) PsyToolkit runs best on Linux systems, but for demonstration and teaching purposes, there is a web based version using Java technology. The software runs well, although it is recommended to run profession experiments on the Linux platform only.

Other than that, I'm afraid I don't have any real suggestions, but there's a discussion here: http://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/109/open-source-software-for-running-internet-psychological-experiments-that-collect

Good luck!
