What is the best way to "survey" students for response to multiple options?

[mwcampbe]

Hi,

I'd like to have my students "vote" on their top 5 choices out of ten options. Is there an easy way to do this inside Canvas?

Many thanks!

Hi Malcolm,

Yes, you can create a graded or ungraded survey with a multiple answer question. Just specify in the question that you want students to pick 5 out of the 10 options. 

Here's a guide on creating surveys: How do I create a survey in my course? 

Best,

 @mwcampbe ,

The best way to handle this would be an ungraded survey in the Canvas Quiz tool:
