Add a survey to your Brightspace course

Surveys are a great way to get information from students without a connection to the gradebook. Surveys can be anonymous or attached to a student. The survey took is available from the Assessments menu.

New Survey

1. From the Assessments menu, select Surveys (Fig 1).
2. Select the blue New Survey button.
3. Add a name (Fig 2.1), and category (if desired, Fig 2.2).
4. If you want to provide instant feedback, check the box for instant feedback (Fig 2.3). This option will remove the Submit option and provide immediate feedback to the student.
5. If you want to make the results anonymous (such as for a course evaluation), check the box for anonymous (Fig 2.4). Once selected, this can not be undone.
6. Add survey questions (Fig 2.5).
