Did you know that you can use ToolBook to create surveys and use your LMS to collect the information you collect?
The only thing that is required is ToolBook and an LMS which is able to show question level feedback in reports.
I have created a sample (download SurveySample.tbk) that you can download but will also explain what is required. You can also see it here.
The following ToolBook widgets are useful:
- Rating (ie Likert Scale)
- Multiple choice Question
- Fill in the blank (especially the multiline feedback)
Here is a sample of a Rating/Likert Scale question
You should name your question objects sensibly so you can identify the question in the LMS
When asking for people’s opinion it doesn’t make a lot of sense to have incorrect answers (and yes you DO want to get the negative feedback)
Since there is no correct and incorrect, then having immediate or delayed feedback isn’t really helpful either so just turn that off.
Now publish the content and upload to the LMS and make it available to the relevant users.
The user launches the survey and answers the questions.
When the user has answered all questions they exit and mark the course as complete.
The users responses is now available the report section of your LMS. Some LMS allow you to export the report in PDF or Excell or similar.
Do notice how the name of the question and the name in the report is connected: a Multiple Choice object with Object id 8 on page id 1 named Survey1 will become Survey1__P1_8 when published to SCORM.
I hope you have found this article usefull, as always questions and comments are wellcome.
