Creating Course Evaluation Surveys Using Typeform

About Creating Course Evaluation Surveys Using Typeform

Evaluation surveys are useful tools for collecting course feedback from your learners. Typeform is just one of several form creation products that you can use with SmarterU to develop post-course evaluation surveys. 

After creating the survey in Typeform and specifying your course's completion settings, you'll copy the URL generated by Typeform to SmarterU's Completion Settings. You'll have the option of providing learners with access to the survey via the course completion email, the course details page, or both. 

As learners complete the survey, you'll be able analyze the results.

Creating a survey in Typeform consists of three steps:

1. Create the survey in Typeform.
2. Set up the post-course evaluation in SmarterU.
3. Analyze the results.

Creating the Survey in Typeform

To create a survey in Typeform:

1. Create the survey by adding a new typeform.
2. If you have a paid Typeform account, you may add SmarterU variables to your survey by adding hidden fields. 

3. Add questions and content to your survey. You may include variables by selecting the hidden field from the Add Variable list. 

For example, you can use variables to display the course name and learner name on the welcome screen.

4. When you have finished adding questions and content to your survey, locate the URL for the survey. The URL is located at the bottom of the Hidden Fields window. 

5. Copy the URL prior to the question mark. For example, if the URL displayed in the Hidden Fields window is:

https://neovation.typeform.com/to/NqftKQ?su_name=xxxxx&su_email=xxxxx&su_employeeid=xxxxx&su_home_group=xxxxx&su_course=xxxxx&su_session=xxxxx&su_location=xxxxx

 You would copy:

https://neovation.typeform.com/to/NqftKQ

 You will need this URL when you set up the post-course evaluation in SmarterU.

Setting Up Post-Course Evaluations in SmarterU

SmarterU enables you to specify your post-course evaluation settings at the account level. Courses and sessions that have post-course evaluations enabled will inherit the account's settings. If needed, you may change the post-course evaluation settings at the course and session level. 

To set up post-course evaluations in SmarterU:

1. Ensure that your account's Enable Post-Course Evaluations setting is selected. This setting is located in the Post-Course Evaluations section of the Account Profile workscreen. 
2. Specify the other settings related to post-course evaluations. For the Default Evaluation URL setting, paste the URL that you copied in step 5 of the Creating the Survey in Typeform section.
