The Questionnaire module allows users to complete online feedback style forms using a variety of user input methods. It allows you to create your own questions, unlike the Choice activity module that is built into Moodle.

To create a Questionnaire:

  • Turn Editing On in your course
  • Pick a section in your course that you would like the Questionnaire to reside, then click the "+Add an activity or resource" link in any section of your course.

Questionnaire

Select the 'Questionnaire' option. Now click the 'Add' button.

You will now see the Editing Questionnaire page. Give the Questionnaire a Name and an optional Description, then scroll down.

Questionnaire

If needed, you may set an Open Date and a Close Date for your Questionnaire in the Timing section.

Questionnaire

Scroll down, and you will reach the Response Options settings in the Response options section.

Questionnaire

Here are the descriptions for each option:

Type

  • Respond many (default) - Allows each user to respond multiple times
  • Respond once - Allows each user to only respond once to the Questionnaire
  • Respond daily - Allows one response from each user each day
  • Respond weekly - Allows one response from each user each week
  • Respond monthly - Allows one response from each user each month

Respondent Type

  • fullname (default) - Records the user's full name with their submitted Questionnaire
  • anonymous - Does not record the user's full name with their submitted Questionnaire

Students can view ALL responses

  • Never (default) - Only teachers of the owning course can see all questionnaire submitted responses
  • After answering the questionnaire - This allows students to see all responses after answering a questionnaire that is set to respond once only. If a questionnaire is set to respond more than once, then students cannot see all responses unless you use one of the next two options.
  • After the questionnaire is closed - Students can view responses only after the questionnaire is closed.
  • Always - Students always see responses.

Save/Resume Answers (default: No)

Setting this option allows users to save their answers to a questionnaire before submitting them. Users can leave the questionnaire unfinished and resume from the save point at a later date.

Submission grade

Allows you to set a grade for the Questionnaire.

Scroll down and click Save and display.

Now you will see the following page:
