Adding a new questionnaire

See DEMO

A questionnaire is always associated to a project and is made up of items and media files that are saved in the project's library. Questionnaires from a project can be organized into collections – collections are not mandatory, but using them is an efficient way to organize your work.

  1. Display the list of questionnaires by clicking on Questionnaires at the top of the Netquiz Web+ page or, in the menu on the left, under the title Questionnaires, and click on My questionnaires.
  2. Click on Add a new questionnaire, to the right of My questionnaires; a questionnaire form will appear.
  3. Fill in the text input fields.
  4. Click on the Save button to save the information or click on Cancel if you do not wish to save the changes.

At the top and bottom of the page, you will find the Save button to save the information you have entered, the Cancel button (if you choose not to save any information) and the Preview button to see how the questionnaire will appear to the participant once published.

Questionnaires are defined under the three following tabs: Parameters, Theme and Glossary.

Parameters for the questionnaire

The Parameters tab allows you to determine the questionnaire's essential elements.

Collection

Questionnaires can belong to a collection. To pair a questionnaire with an existing collection, click on the corresponding collection in the drop-down menu. To pair a questionnaire with a new collection, enter the new collection’s name in the Create a new collection if needed field. The new collection will be created at the same time as the questionnaire. It will appear in the library under My collections.

Questionnaire title

Title as it appears in the list of questionnaires.

Questionnaire type

Formative or summative

Presentation of items

Order in which the questions appear in the assessment. Your options are:

  • Based on the parameter of each section: If the questionnaire is divided into sections, you can choose whether the questions will appear in a random order or in a predetermined order for each section (in the left-hand column). If your questionnaire is not divided into sections but select that option, the questions will appear in a random order by default.
  • Random order: The questions will appear in a random order in the assessment.
  • Predetermined order: The questions will appear in a predetermined order.

Response time

The time that the participant spent on each question before clicking on the Submit button. You can choose to have this time displayed in the results table shown to the participant at the end of the assessment.

  • Do not calculate: The Response time will not appear in the results table.
  • Calculate: The Response time column will appear in the results table.

Display correct answer

Select the appropriate option, depending on whether you want the participant to have access to the correct answer after submitting their answer or not. This option is only available with formative assessments, as it is deactivated in summative mode.

  • Based on the parameter of each item: The parameter Display correct answer is available for each item. When the Based on the parameter of each item option is selected, the Solution button will appear in each question where the Display correct answer item parameter is activated.
  • Always display: The Solution button will appear in the assessment question page, regardless of the item’s parameter setting.
  • Never display: The Solution button will not appear in any of the assessment question pages, regardless of the item's parameter setting.

Display the results page

Select the appropriate option, depending on whether you want a detailed results page to be displayed when the participant finishes the assessment or not. For example, you may not want the results to be displayed for summative assessments that include essay-type questions (since the applications can’t automatically grade the answers to these questions).

Preview or posting language

Determines in what language the assessment interface will appear. The drop-down menu contains the languages defined under My languages.

Note

The content of this field is not visible in the published questionnaire. Notes can help you manage the content or work in collaboration with a colleague and identify items that are marked “To check”, “To complete” or “Check copyrights”, etc.
