Student Surveys

The Student Survey tool enables the Tutor to get instant feedback from Students during or at the end of a session. The Tutor sends connected Students a question together with a selection of pre-defined responses. Student responses are gathered at the Tutor, with the results shown as an overall percentage and by individual Student. Results can be shown to Students in the form of a pie chart; Students must respond before they can view the results.

The lower panes can be minimised to make more room for the Student thumbnails. Click the Minimise View icon.
