Creating a custom survey for a class

I am trying to put together a custom survey with 10 questions for the students in that class. However, it does not seem that I can create my own, but rather I have to use one of the predefined ones. Am I missing something or that function does not exist in this version?

Thanks for your time as always.

At the moment you can´t create your custom survey with 10 questions.
I think it will be possible in any of the next version.

I make this as follow.
When you have adminstrator rights on your moodle site, you can change one of the system serveys.
  • Go to administration -- confuration -- language-- Compare and edit current language.
  • choose servey.php
  • edit the questions
  • save your changes
I hope this will also working with english language file, because I use this in german language servey.php.

Hi Sali!

Try out the "Questionnaire" module.  It is not part of the standard Moodle package.  I have it installed and it works well.  It will allow you to download survey/questionnaire responses in "CSV" format.

Andre,

Are you planning on using it for a course evaluation.  I am interested in placing my own evaluation questions in the course and then having the results compiled.  Would the module work for that purpose?

Hi Richard.

You can make a Questionnaire/Survey,
  • Site wide
  • Course wide
  • By Topic and Week according to Course Format.

Hope this helps.

We are just getting our feet wet on Moodle and exploring in an effort to drop WebCT.  Right now I am trying to see what functions I will have to work around or have with Moodle.  We would like to keep it as transparent as possible.  WebCT has a survey function where you can see which students took the survey and then compiles and does a statistical analysis of the results.  I am guessing that the survey module has to be loaded on the server to function - correct?

Hi Richard,

You need the Questionnaire mod on the server with Moodle.  However, after you download your results in CSV format you can then analyze it.  Put the results in Excell, etc..  Check out the link below.  It may be more helpful in explaining how to use phpESP.  It has a demo you can play around with and see how to use the mod.  It works essentially the same way in Moodle.

Another option (for now) is to use phpESP (open source)

http://phpesp.sourceforge.net/

Make your survey with it, upload and then just link to the survey

Hope this helped

Hi Jeff,

The Questionnaire mod for Moodle is phpESP adapted, althought not fully integrated, for  Moodle as of yet.
