What is a Microsoft Form?
Have you ever clicked on the more apps icon in your Office 365 account? if you have your notice that Microsoft forms can be found there. This is a useful web-based application that you could use to create a quiz, survey or test.
How do you set it up?
I like the way you can add attractive backgrounds – either from
Microsoft’s collection – or via an image of your own that you upload. When
setting up the questions you can add pictures or videos. There are options for
the types of questions you want to include: multiple choice, text, or ratings.
How do you send the completed form to your students?
What is great about it is that you can send this out in a number of ways:- You can email it
- You can just pass on the weblink
- You can even create a QR code that the viewers can use their QR Readers to open
- You can embed it in a web page.
How do students respond?
Your students can respond even if they don’t have an O365
account. They can use their web browser or a mobile device.
Your students can fill in the form and submit it. If the questions
are all multiple-choice questions the test will be marked automatically and the
students will be able to see their results and where they went wrong. You can
also review all the tests submitted back to you and provide further feedback if
you wish to.
How do you collect the data?
The form’s data, such as the test results, can be easily
exported to Excel for additional analysis or grading.
This is a great, simple interface to use for polls, quizzes and
tests.
