WebLearn has a Beta version of a tool that can be used for general data gathering such as specifying dietary requirements or choosing which session to attend for conference guests.<\/p>\n
On 6 July 2010, a new ‘Survey’ option will appear in the list of tools available to a WebLearn site. As well being useful for course and lecturer evaluation, this tool allows general data to be collected via a web form.<\/p>\n
The tool has an option to grant access to non-WebLearn users;\u00a0 respondents would access the survey via a link placed in an email or on a website. Alternatively, respondents could be given a WebLearn account (by being added to a site) and then be asked to login in order to access the survey. As all surveys are anonymous, names must be collected via text boxes on the form.<\/p>\n
The Survey tool allows a template to be created which can contain a variety of question types such a multiple choice, multiple response, Likhert scales and free text. At the point when the template is instantiated into a survey, it is possible to specify whether respondents need to log in to WebLearn or not.<\/p>\n
If users are required to login the WebLearn can be made to automatically send reminders to those who have not yet completed the form.<\/p>\n
Of course it goes without saying that all this free to members of the University!<\/p>\n
