Feedback

Why use this?

Feedback allows you to survey your students. Feedback surveys can be anonymous or not, can allow for a single response or multiple responses (from anonymous users), and can either display the results to students or remain private. Question types include Short Text Answer, Longer Text Answer, Multiple Choice, and Numeric Answer.

It is very similar to another activity called Questionnaire. The main difference is that with Questionnaire you can have the system automatically award points to students for taking the survey, while Feedback is completely ungraded. For more information, please see our help guide on Questionnaire.
