Thank you for your feedback
You can specify the defaults for your course's post-course evaluations.
When you edit your account's settings, the Post-Course Evaluations accordion of the Account Profile workscreen includes the following settings.
The available settings will depend on whether your default evaluations are internal or external. Internal evaluations are created in SmarterU using the Form Builder. External evaluations are created using a third-party form creation tool such as Typeform or SurveyMonkey.
- Be sure to set up your evaluation before setting the default for the account.
- Changing the settings below can affect existing courses if the form associated with an enrollment has not yet been submitted. For example, if you change the account's post-course evaluation from Form A to Form B, learners who have not yet submitted a post-course evaluation for a course that uses the account's settings will see Form B.
