Creating a Questionnaire

How to Create a Questionnaire

Step 1: From the course homepage, click the "Turn Editing On" button on the upper left-hand side of your course homepage. 

Step 2: Click the down arrow next to the Add an Activity... option box in the section of the course outline you want to add the assignment.

Step 3: From the drop-down menu select Questionnaire.

Step 4: The Editing Questionnaire page will open. Enter a name for the questionnaire and a description or summary.

Step 5: If you want the questionnaire to become available only after a certain date or to become unavailable after a certain date (or both) specify these date in the Timing field
