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

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.
