Frequently Asked Questions

Can learners be required to answer the survey?
No, learners cannot be forced to answer the survey. They have the option to skip it. If you need mandatory responses to collect specific data, consider using a form instead.

Is it possible to identify individual learners' responses in a survey?
No, the responses are anonymous, so it is not possible to identify who submitted a specific answer.

Can learners see others' responses?
After completing the survey, learners can view a percentage breakdown of the responses. However, they will not see who responded or the total number of learners in the survey (as shown below).

Can learners see free responses provided by others?
When the free response option is enabled in a survey and learners submit their own answers, these will appear in the results under the "Other responses" category. However, the specific content of these responses is not displayed to other learners.

Is it possible to reset survey participation?
No, it is not possible to reset survey participation. If you want to delete the results, you must delete the survey and create a new one.

Is it possible to export survey results? No, survey results cannot be exported. The only way to access survey data is through the dashboard in the “Measure” section. There is no export functionality available. Please note that if your course is distributed via SCORM and you do not have access to the Teach Up dashboard, you will not be able to access the survey results.
