Surveys are possible in New Quizzes, although you may need some tweaking. There is an article here (FAQ: New Quizzes) mentioning that surveys do not exist in New Quizzes. However, this is not logically correct, since it's possible to create assessments without point values.
Let's first look at the current Quizzes tool on surveys.
Old Quizzes
As you can see, we have the RCE above as well as the options below.
Notice that, in a graded survey, since we have 11 questions in the survey, we made it out of 11 points. Students will automatically receive full credit once they take a graded survey. Also, notice the Keep Submissions Anonymous option below. We'll discuss it later on.
In Old Quizzes, students will receive full credit whether or not they answered all the questions.
New Quizzes
Let's test how this survey is going to be affected by migrating it into New Quizzes.
Hold on! Something's not right here. Some features like Anonymous Grading are missing. You should check with your local educational institution for details on how to enable it so that those survey submissions will remain anonymous.
The New Survey Builder
We can look at the newly migrated survey here. All 11 questions were imported successfully.
(You cannot use Load this tool in a new tab when migrating a quiz. This feature hides the Global Navigation bar on the left.)
Settings are not migrated; you must reconfigure them manually. If you will be reusing this survey, allow multiple attempts. A great example of this is a weekly topic submission form. Since we set all questions to zero points, it is safe to keep the latest submission, in which the latest survey responses will overwrite previous responses.
For Restrict student result view, this needs to be turned on. The only options that can be used in a survey are Show items and questions, Show student response, and Show item feedback.
Attempt History will be disabled if Show items and questions is turned off.
A graded survey requires that all questions to be multiple-choice and that Vary points by answer is turned on. Using other question types may not return desirable results, as students may not necessarily receive full credit once they submit the survey. To be on the safe side, make all questions zero points each and set Display Grade As to Complete/Incomplete.
Survey Preview & Debugging
After running the test, here's the result when Show items and questions, Show student response, and Show item feedback are turned on.
As you can see below, one question requires grading. Even though it shows that the student finished the survey in 1:13 minutes, it still shows the Points Possible field blanked out. To be honest, if the Show points awarded/possible options are not checked, it should only show the time taken to complete the survey (only if Show items/questions is checked). If no items are checked, the time taken is not shown.
Recap
- When migrating to New Quizzes, we recommend that you make all questions zero points each, since graded surveys do not appear to be viable. From the Assignments page, display the grade as Complete/Incomplete.
- The only options that can be used in Restrict Student Result View for a survey are:
- Show items and questions
- Show student response
- Show item feedback
- Preview the survey a few times so that you can check for any errors. We always want quality work when building surveys.
(When we preview a quiz, it resembles as if we are in the director's seat.)- "Lock it up": The teacher clicks the Preview button.
- "Rolling": Loading screen
- "Action": The quiz screen comes up
- "Cut": The teacher clicks the Exit Preview button; can be done before or after submitting the survey
- Before submitting: When you need to fix errors (i.e., spelling) in questions or the instructions
- After submitting: When you think the answer is right even though the auto-grader is wrong. Make a note of the affected questions on a piece of paper before exiting the preview.
