About EdLine Forms and Surveys:

• Administrators/Superusers can create Forms and Surveys.
• Create on any EdLine page (Main page, Parents, Students, Library, Faculty & Staff) 
• Administer to any School Group (e.g. Students, Parents, and/or Faculty & Staff) or to entire school community (public access)
• Counselors can create Surveys for Students or Parents
• Create on the School Counseling page
• Administer to any School Group (e.g. Students, Parents), or to specific classes or grade levels.
• Teachers can create Surveys for members of their Classes (Students and/or Parents) or special Groups (e.g. Clubs) if they are the superuser for a Group created in EdLine.
• Create surveys in a folder on an EdLine Class page and use Multiple Posting to post on additional Class pages.
• Create in Contents folder or in a subfolder of Contents (e.g. Assignments or Tests), or on Calendar
• Note: Surveys created in Contents or a Contents subfolder can also be posted to the Calendar. You do not have to create the Survey in the Calendar folder for it to appear on the Calendar.
• Surveys may be used in a variety of ways:
• Pre-assessment, Formative Assessment, Summative Assessment, Practice Tests (graded or ungraded)
• Exit Tickets for computer labs/mobile lab lessons
• Interest Inventories 
• Student or Parent Surveys to gather data for guiding decision-making

Notes:

• Under Title, Summary, and Date, you can make the Survey or Form appear on the Calendar by specifying Calendar Event Recurrance dates.
• Use Multiple Posting to post the survey on multiple Class Pages.
• Use a Friendly URL to provide a direct link to the Survey or Form:
• Add the link to an Email 
• Hyperlink the URL on another Web page (e.g. teacher Wiki) 
• Hyperlink the URL on a document (e.g. student handout accessed via Students drive)
• Use Visibility options to:
• Specify a date range for access to the Survey or Form; the Survey/Form will only be visible/accessible to sumbitters during those dates.
• Keep the Survey or Form hidden until you are finished building it and are ready for users to access it (select Hide Completely) 
• If you are including a Handout in a Survey that may be accessed from home, be mindful that not all users have MS Office.
• Use PDF format for handouts that will be read only, and do not need to be edited by users.
• Use RTF format for MS Word handouts that will edited and/or Handed In through the Survey.  
• You will NOT be able to modify the survey once submissions are received; to modify after submissions received, you would have to delete the submissions. You could export the data for those submitted responses before deleting if needed.
