If your university has provided you an access-key you can type in the access-key on any page in the input-field on top of the page. If you have got an access-link you can directly click on the link and start with the survey.
After clicking the button Submit your input is saved in the database and you will get access to the results with an extended key. Please keep this key confidental. The results are not made public. Everybody needs a key to look into the results. The survey is completely anonymous.
When using a results-key you have access to the results of a certain course. The results-key is longer than the access-key.
In the results is shown the average value for each question as green dot and the average value of all courses as empty circle. Additionally, for each scale item the percentage of answers in the course is shown. For open questions all comments about the course are listed.
For setting up a survey you need to register and login. With this tool it is very easy to set up a survey within minutes. For registered users only: Login and go to the menu-item My Survey -> Create Survey. There are 4 steps to set up a survey and distribute the access-keys.
Go to My Survey -> Create Survey, provide the name of the survey and paste a list of all questions into the text area - one question per line. How to determine type and scale of the questions is explained in the following.
Be sure not to use line-feeds within a question. However, the automatic wrapping of long lines in the textbox does not matter.
After the question provide the number of options and its labels separated by semicolon. If you provide only two labels,
they are used as most left and most right label in the scale, respectively. A maximum of 8 options can be used. The option "no answer" will
be added automatically.
Examples:
Your question; 4; no; some; many; all
Your question; 6; very bad; very good
To create a question that is answered with a comment, set the number of options to zero. You may use "text" instead of "0".
Examples:
Your question; 0
Your question; text
To create a question that is answerd with a number, set the number of options to one. You may use "number" or "Zahl" instead of "1".
You may additionally provide a minimum and a maximum to avoid useless input. Inputs outside the given interval are set to the
minimum or maximum value, respectively.
Examples:
Your question; 1
Your question; number
How many hours do you work per day; number; 0; 24
If you provide nothing behind the question, the type and scale of the previous question is used.
Example:
Your question; 5; very bad; very good
Your question
Your question
Headlines may be put between the questions. To mark a line as headline put an asterix (*) before the first letter.
Example:
*This is a headline.
Notes with reduced font-size may be put between the questions. To mark a line as Note put an percent-sign (%) before the first letter.
Example:
%This is a Note.
If the answers of a certain question should not be visible to all participants, put an and-sign (&) before the first letter of the question. The answers will be visible only to the administrator of the survey. They will be included in the exported Excel-files.
Example:
&Your question; 5; very bad; very good
