Running a Real-Time Survey

For materials that support real-time surveys, you can check connected participants, start and end questions, and switch the display of results.

Who can operate

Real-time survey is enabled for the target material
The material contains questions (all questions in the material can be run as a survey)

On the course page, press Manage surveys for the target material.
Under Currently connected learners, check the number of participants and the participant list. Only learners who have the material screen open are shown.
For the target question, press Start survey to begin accepting responses.
Press End survey when needed.
If you want learners to see the results as well, press Publish results. You can return the results to private with Stop publishing results.
To run the survey again, use Return to before start. No confirmation screen is shown. The response records and progress for that question are deleted, and the question returns to the state before responses were accepted. Do not press this if you want to keep the results.

Results are published or unpublished after response acceptance has started.
When results are kept private, learners cannot see the aggregated results.
Pressing Start survey ends any other question in the same material that is currently running.
A question that has ended cannot be resumed until you press Return to before start.
Learners see the response screen only while they have the material screen open.
If you check Treat as a real-time survey for a question, every answer to that question is recorded as correct.
Review is not available for materials used as real-time surveys.
