Surveys are an excellent way to solicit feedback from participants regarding any aspect of a course. You can gather anonymous or non-anonymous opinions and information from users. Unlike Quizzes, survey questions do not have to have right or wrong answers and Likert-style rating questions are possible. For this reason, surveys cannot be tied to the grades area.
Create surveys and use the statistics tools to monitor current course trends, seek opinions, and assess user satisfaction. For example, use surveys as a method of collecting course evaluations, mid-year reviews, or researching people's learning styles and content delivery preferences.
