Creating a poll or survey is an easy way to gain feedback from your students. Rather than using a third-party platform, try creating one in Canvas. Completing a Canvas survey will be intuitive for students since they are familiar with the platform and most likely have taken quizzes or assessments there before.
Creating a survey allows students to provide you with feedback about themselves or the course and allows you to learn or check in with them. You may use a survey at the beginning of a new term to gauge students’ knowledge about the course. Additionally, surveys can serve as a midterm or post-semester check in. What are students struggling with? What was successful? What teaching strategies may need to be adapted for next semester?
A Canvas survey is a quick and painless way to gain that real-time information from your students.
An analytics section will appear where you can see how students responded. You will be able to see which students have completed the survey, but you will not be able to see which students said what. For more information on how to complete this process, watch Creating a Canvas Survey on Kaltura by DLS, James Butler.
