Form

Summary

Forms are a survey option to collect feedback, opinions or preferences.

When to use Forms

Forms use a selection of Test question types, making them particularly useful as asynchronous surveys. However, responses cannot be collected anonymously.

For example, Forms could be used to collect:

• module feedback (mid or end of semester)
• topic preferences to assign students for group work, projects, presentations etc.
• difficulties/topics to focus on in review sessions

Warning

Although it is possible, don't use a Form as a graded assessment. Use the Test tool instead.

Alternative tools

Padlet or Google Forms can also be used for surveys, but allow anonymous responses.

Form content

Forms can include these question types:

• Essay
• Likert scale
• Multiple Choice

You can also add text or upload a file.

For details of question types, see the guide to the Test tool.
