Note: To complete these procedures, you must be assigned a role having the necessary permissions. To determine your role, follow the directions in Participant roles. For a basic understanding of roles and permissions, see Permissions and roles: Overview.
Although the language in the tool makes it appear that all assessments must be graded, you can create an ungraded assessment, such as a survey or ungraded test, using the same process you would to create a graded test or quiz. Simply create an assessment with appropriate questions and settings for your purpose.
The "Survey" question type allows you to choose from a predefined set of scales commonly used for survey reporting. Those scales are as follows:
Yes, No
Disagree, Agree
Disagree, Undecided, Agree
Below Average -> Above Average
Strongly Disagree -> Strongly Agree
Unacceptable -> Excellent
1 -> 5
1 -> 10
You can also use other question types in a survey, such as multiple
choice, true/false, and short answer/essay. However, multiple choice
and true/false questions require you to specify a correct answer. As
long as the Answer Point Value for the questions is set to zero or the
gradebook options for the assessment are set to None
, this
will have no practical effect. For multiple choice questions, you may
want to choose Multiple Correct, Single Selection
or
Multiple Correct, Multiple Selection
and check all listed
answers as correct to avoid misleading statistics when you are viewing
the results.
Note: When participants are ready to submit their
survey responses, they must click Submit for grading
. To
avoid any confusion, tell participants in advance that the survey
results will not be graded, and relate any other needed information
about how you will use the survey results.
