Student feedback surveys

Q. As a tutor, lecturer or course adminstrator, I need to be able to gather course feedback from students. What is the best survey tool to use?

A. Canvas doesn't offer a survey tool as such. You can use the Canvas Quiz tool, but it is not ideal (for example, it shows '0 points', which is inappropriate for a survey, in which points are not applicable).

The University's recommended surveys tool is Jisc Surveys. Although this tool is not integrated directly into Canvas, you can create a Jisc survey and embed the URL in your Canvas course. These surveys are anonymous, and you will not know who has completed your survey (and who has not). Another option is Microsoft Forms Links to an external site..

The Medical Sciences Division provides a summary of possible survey tools to use, with some advantages and disadvantages.
