Surveys in Blackboard

Overview

Surveys provide Instructors with an Assessment tool that is useful for polling purposes, evaluations, and random checks of knowledge. The Survey Manager is used to create, add, preview, modify, and remove Surveys.

To open the Survey Manager, click Survey Manager  in the Assessment Area on the Control Panel.

Functions

The Survey Manager functions in the same way as the Test Manager and offers most of the same options for creating and managing Surveys, Survey questions and settings.

Surveys differ from Tests in the following ways:

• Questions on Surveys cannot be assigned points.

• Surveys cannot include Random Blocks of questions.

• Instructors cannot give Students feedback.

• Surveys cannot be graded.

• Survey questions cannot be categorized.

• Questions may be imported into a Survey. Questions that are imported into a Survey may not include correct and incorrect answers.

Survey Creation Settings

The Survey Creation Settings function in the same way as the Test Creation Settings. The only difference is there are not options to Add categories to questions or to Specify default point values for questions.

Survey Results

Instructors may view the results of Surveys on the Assessment Stats: Assessment Name page. This page will show how Students responded to questions on the Survey by percentage.
