# Surveys

The survey tool lets you create questionnaires to collect feedback from your learners. Surveys are useful for course evaluations, needs assessments, and opinion polls.

## Creating a Survey

1. Open the **Surveys**  tool from the course homepage
2. Click **Create a survey**
3. Fill in the survey details:
   * **Title** — The name of the survey
   * **Subtitle** — An optional secondary heading
   * **Introduction** — A message shown to learners before they start the survey
   * **Thank you message** — A message shown after submission
   * **Anonymous responses** — Whether responses are anonymous or linked to individual learners
4. Save

## Adding Questions

Once the survey is created, add questions:

1. Click **Add a question**
2. Choose the question type:
   * **Yes/No** — A simple binary choice
   * **Multiple choice** — Select one answer from several options
   * **Multiple answer** — Select one or more answers from several options
   * **Open-ended** — Free text response
   * **Score** — Rate on a numeric scale
   * **Dropdown** — Select from a dropdown list
   * **Percentage** — Choose a percentage value
   * **Comment** — A text block (not a question) for adding instructions between questions
3. Configure the question text and answer options
4. Save

## Publishing a Survey

After adding all questions:

1. Click **Publish**
2. Choose the recipients — all learners, specific learners, or groups
3. Set an optional deadline
4. Confirm

Learners receive an invitation (and optionally an email notification) to complete the survey.

After learners have responded:

1. Open the survey
2. Click **Results** or **Report**
3. View response summaries:
   * Charts and percentages for closed questions
   * Individual text responses for open-ended questions
   * Completion rate (how many invitees responded)

You can export results to a spreadsheet for further analysis.

## Tips

* **Keep it short** — Learners are more likely to complete shorter surveys
* **Use anonymous mode** — For honest feedback, enable anonymous responses
* **Time it right** — Send mid-course surveys to make adjustments, not just end-of-course evaluations
