Create new survey

When you click on Reflex on your course, you get the following view:

Here you select "New survey" and get to the page that creates the survey.

On the page, you then select a main template that fits. You do this by pressing the dropdown list. The following should be taken into account when choosing a master template:

University-wide or if your faculty/education has its own main template.
Type of template if it is a start survey, course evaluation VFU or similar you are going to create.
With common questions or without questions. You can always add your own questions later and import questions from a previous course session.
Language. some are bilingual and other templates are only created in one language.

Survey name. This is taken from Canvas and usually does not need to be changed.

Set when you want the survey to be opened to the students and when it should be closed (suggested 14 days after publication).

Finally, you can choose which students should not receive the course evaluation. It is best to create a section with students who will only do certain parts of the course, for example a re-examination. in the example I have named this section "former students", if there are only a few you can remove them by opening the section.

When this is done, press "Create" in the top left corner.

Settings for created course evaluation.

Once the survey is created, you can refine the settings. You can do this until the survey is published.

Check Language and remove the languages that are not used for the course evaluation on the right side of the page. We rarely use bilingual questionnaires.

You can change owners and add authorized users who thus gain access to change the survey and create reports. In reflex, all teachers and course administrators can see that there is a survey and possible response rate to the survey, but only authorized users can see and change content and reports. You can also update the name of the course evaluation and the publication period.

If you have students who are not to receive the course evaluation, you can deselect them at the bottom of the page. for example, you create a section which you then select. Then, for example, all re-registration students who only have to write the exam will not receive the course assessment.

If you wish to make more advanced changes, you can then open the survey in Survey & report through the link at the top right.

If you change something, don't forget to Save at the top left.

If you do not want to change anything else in the course evaluation and need the survey to be published the same day to the students, you can press Publish survey now. After the survey is published, you cannot change or add anything to the course evaluation.
