Purpose To improve services to students, Moodle 2 will

only contain courses

Surveys will no longer be run on either Moodle platform after July 2012

Lime Survey will be the central location for all feedback surveys

Eventually, it may house other types of surveys

How it works

Program Associates have access to ‘create surveys’

Have full access to: Surveys you’ve created Surveys others have granted you permissions

to Grant others permissions to your manage your

surveys Students do not need to ‘log in’ to respond to

the survey

Responding to surveys

Students respond to the survey using a ‘token’ that is emailed to them from Lime Survey

Tokens track whether or not a student has responded but have no connection to the actual responses

Survey creators (PAs) can see who has responded Token email management allows you to send

reminders or resend invitations if you have additional people to send to

Creating Tokens

Tokens can be generated one person at a time Firstname, Lastname, email address

Upload a list of students (.csv file) Bulk generate tokens Auto-creation of token source files

Similar to Distribution lists Created on Program and Course Start dates Updated nightly

Process for administering a feedback survey

Create a survey template to be used for all surveys Create a new survey based on a ‘copy’ of the

template survey Name it appropriately to reflect the course or

program Upload token file and generate tokens Send email to students from within Lime Survey

using token email management tools Review results and generate PDFs
