Surveys provide valuable insight into user opinions and behaviours, helping organisations make informed decisions based on representative feedback. They can highlight patterns, identify areas for improvement, and support evidence-based planning.
Survey questions are sourced from question banks. A relevant question bank must exist before creating a survey.
Each course should use a separate survey, as previous registrations carry over across courses. To save time, existing surveys can be copied by accessing the administration area, selecting the Details tab, and clicking Copy.
A default survey, Event Survey, is available in content manager and can be duplicated and adapted for use in other courses.
