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 ed 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 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, 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 to students from within Lime Survey using token management tools  Review results and generate PDFs

Timelines  Training is scheduled throughout June  Platform will be live, in production by early July  Standard questions will be provided in the future  Reporting will be set up in Q3 or Q4 once we have some data to compare
