Surveys

Create surveys and use the statistics tools to monitor current course trends, seek opinions, and assess user satisfaction. Surveys are an excellent way to solicit feedback from participants regarding any aspect of a course.

For example, use surveys as a method of collecting course evaluations, mid-year reviews, or researching people's learning styles and content delivery preferences.

Find Surveys in the top menu, under Assessment. If it isn't there, review how to enable course tools.

  1. From Assessment > Surveys, click "New Survey".
  2. On the Properties tab, give your survey a name.
  3. You can choose whether or not you want to provide instant feedback to your students once they submit their survey. You have the chance to add feedback when creating survey questions (step 5).
  4. Check this box to make all feedback anonymous.


    Note: Once you click this box, you can't undo the decision to allow anonymous posts for this survey.
