Surveys

From EFrontWiki

eFront has integrated support for surveys.The Survey function is available to the professor of each lesson. The professor may create a survey by defining a code, title and the time period where students will be able to answer its questions.

For this small tutorial we assume that we want to create a new survey about end-user experience with eFront. We start by setting its basic characteristics, as shown in the image below

After saving the survey,we are led to the surveys list. The next step is to add questions to our survey, by using the relevant button.

Adding questions

The survey content is created in a similar way like tests, namely by assembling questions which may be:

  • Yes or No
  • Development
  • Select answer from a list
  • Multiple choice questions with one or more possible answers

The questions we have added, are shown in the questions list.

The professor may preview Image:preview.png the format of the survey, activate it Image:activate.pngand have it then published to the students. Image:survey4.png Until the publishing point no student is able to see or answer the questionnaire. When the professor publishes the survey he or she chooses the lesson's students that may answer it.
