How do I create a Survey question type?

The Tests & Quizzes tool may be set up to deliver surveys as well as other types of assessments. Survey question types may be added to a new or existing assessment. There are two types: a basic survey and a matrix of choices survey.

Tip: If you are delivering a survey, you may wish to set the assessment to anonymous when publishing the item, so that your survey responses will be gathered anonymously. See How do I view and modify the settings of an assessment? for more information on delivery options.

Go to Tests & Quizzes.

Questions may be added to any assessment. Select an existing assessment or create a new one.

Note: You may also add a question directly to a question pool.

For a basic survey, select Survey from the drop-down menu.

After selecting Survey from the drop-down menu, the program will open additional options for the question.

The Answer Point Value will default to zero.

Because basic surveys are not typically scored, the answer point value will default to zero. This setting cannot be changed.

Display points?

Select the radio button to determine whether or not students will see the point value as they are taking the survey. Since this type of question is not typically scored, No is the recommended selection.
