Feedback/survey/practice quiz

Create your own web form to receive feedback from students (or users). The form can be designed as a feedback form, a survey or formative quiz.

As the course administrator, you are able to view the submissions from within CourseBuilder - click the 'View submissions' link at the top of the form. You may also have the submissions emailed to you.

Feedback/survey/practice quiz example

Tip: This element has not been designed for summative assessment. Although you can develop quiz-style forms, it is primarily for practice quizes (e.g. answers are given in the submission response) or collecting feedback, surveys etc. Students can submit the form multiple times and – although you can ask them to type in their name – there is no guarantee that the submission came from that person.
