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, Students must respond before they can view the results.

Note: Surveys will not be displayed to Mac Students that are logged out.
