eLearning for Faculty – Creating an Anonymous Survey

Filed under: Tech Tips, eLearning — Hailey Ruoff @ October 29th, 2009

Surveys are anonymous tests in eLearning for which no grades are assigned but which provide you with statistics. Survey responses are automatically tabulated and the results are summarized.  Because the results are anonymous, surveys are ideal for course evaluations or for canvassing opinions on an issue discussed in the course.
