The Survey tool allows you create customizable surveys to collect feedback from students. Unlike the Quiz tool, the questions are non-graded and can be anonymous. Surveys are a great resource for course evaluations, such as midterm feedback or peer evaluations, and they can also be used to collect feedback on any course topic.
