Surveys - Docs

Overview

Surveys help you gather structured input from your learners. At its core a survey is basically a collection of questions structured in a specific order with a name and a description.

At the moment, surveys can be used with:

live sessions, either to require extra information during the registration process or to request feedback after the session has ended;
assignments, to retrieve explicit data from learners, that can be used to make further decisions on the learning process.

Manage Surveys

There are two pages that help you view and manage all your surveys.

The Surveys List Page

Here surveys are displayed in the table view. This view allows you to query your surveys using the Filter Bar and also perform basic actions like edit or delete.

The Survey View Page

You can reach this page by clicking on the survey name in the Survey List Page. The view shows you general information, and Survey Responses grouped by learner.

Besides providing different ways of viewing data these two pages allow you to perform various actions that we will describe in the next sections.

Reports

There are 2 types of reports that can be generated for surveys:

Survey Responses

This report provides you with a list in which each row represents the answer given by a learner on a survey question.

Survey Responses Grouped

Here the system will create an excel file with different sheets for every survey included in the report. This way the information in each sheet will be structured based on the questions from that specific survey. Each row will represent all the answers that a learner has submitted for that form.
