The survey activity module provides a number of verified survey instruments that have been found useful in assessing and stimulating learning in online environments. A teacher can use these to gather data from their students that will help them learn about their class and reflect on their own teaching.
Note that these survey tools are pre-populated with questions. Teachers who wish to create their own survey should use the feedback activity module.
