Are there detailed instructions on how to properly create a survey? How to format the question and setting up the options? Also, does an e-mail go out to the classmates informing them of the survey or how do they find out about it? Thanks for any help. Skip Osborn

There are detailed instructions on the SURVEY MAKER page. Surveys SURVEY RESULTS: If you set your Survey Results Visibility to "Admins Only" no Classmates will be able to view answers to your survey questions. If you set the visibility to "All Classmates" your Classmates will be able to view collective group results but WILL NOT be able to view each Classmate's specific answers like Administrators can. Individual answers are never displayed to site members for privacy purposes.

The Survey Maker tells you what the survey does but not how to create the actual survey question/tools. All it shows is a blank sheet. From another forum question you talk about check boxes/radio buttons: Thanks. Skip Osborn

The survey would be considered a new page of the site, and so for those members who have their Notify Me setting to be informed of new pages, they would get a notice. If it were me though, I would send an email to the class asking them to log in and take the survey.

Thanks for the info on what happens to the survey. That should be part of the instructions. It doesn't mention that the survey is a new page on the site nad how the classmates find out about it. Now what about my other question about how to compose a survey question? Thanks. Skip Osborn

Hi Skip, When you go to Survey Maker choose Add a New Survey. Give the survey a name and there is a content area where you can type in an introduction to the survey if needed. Below the content area is a black line and then an Add Question button. When you add a question you will be selecting the type of question you are adding. When you are ready to add the second question you would choose the Add Question button again etc. Jessica

OK, that answers my question. Your instructions on that page are not clear. When you click on "Add Survey" the new page comes up with a title box and a text box. I assumed that the text box is where you enter the question and the "Add a Question" box is for a second question. Why do you need to check the "Add a Question" box at all for the first question? The page should come up with those boxes open so you see where to type in your survey name, instructions AND the box to type in your actual question. If you want to add a second question then the "Add a Question" box makes sense. Thanks for your help. Skip Osborn

Hi Skip, Admins will sometimes use the survey pages for notices of upcoming surveys or results of surveys without active survey questions on the page -- the current set up allows for all of those alternatives. Jessica

OK, but then I think there should be a step in the instructions to say to click on the "Add a Question" box for the first survey question or change the name of the box to something like "Enter your first question". Thanks. Skip Osborn
