Creating a Survey in Google Docs
Google Forms is a free and easy-to-use survey tool that integrates seamlessly with Google Docs. By using Google Forms, you can create customized surveys that gather valuable feedback from your learners. Here’s how to create a survey in Google Docs:
- Open Google Forms
- Click the “+” button to create a new form
- Add questions by clicking on the “Add Question” button
- Customize the design of the form by selecting a theme or adding your own branding
- Preview the form to make sure everything looks correct
- Share the form by copying the link or embedding it on your website
By using Google Forms to create a survey, you can easily collect feedback from your learners and attribute it to each individual respondent. This information can then be used to personalize their learning experience on Thinkific.
Collecting Responses Attributed to Individuals
When creating a survey in Google Forms, it’s essential to ensure that responses are attributed to the correct individuals. This is particularly important when using the survey to gather feedback from students in a course on Thinkific. One way to do this is to enable the option to collect email addresses in Google Forms.
To do this, go to the “Settings” menu in your Google Form and select “Collect email addresses.” This will prompt respondents to provide their email addresses before they can begin the survey. You can also select the option to “Make this a required question” to ensure that everyone provides their email address.
Once email collection is enabled, you can ensure that responses are attributed to the correct individual by selecting the option to “Automatically collect respondent’s username” in the same “Settings” menu. This will collect the email address of the person completing the survey and attribute their responses to them. It’s important to note that respondents must be logged into their Google account to ensure that their responses are attributed to them correctly.
