Survey questions

Discover what your audience knows and thinks, all in one place

Traditionally, quizzes and surveys have been treated as separate tools: one for testing knowledge and the other for collecting opinions or feedback. But why stop there?

Integrate quizzes and surveys to assess knowledge and collect feedback in one simple, time-saving process. Include survey questions in your exams, training, or assessments, and get the insights you need to make smarter decisions, faster.

How surveys work

ClassMarker Surveys work much like exams but without grading. Simply select between a test or survey when you create a new test.

Choose between Multiple Choice, Short Answer, or Long Answer question formats. Toggle the switch in the question editor to convert any question into a survey question with no points assigned. It’s that simple!

Survey timers

Surveys auto-finish after 24 hours.

This prevents abandoned test and surveys from remaining “in progress” indefinitely, ensuring all responses are captured in your statistics.

This setting can be adjusted if needed as well.

Form data collection with ClassMarker

Responses are anonymous.

Respondent information such as first name, last name and email address is not included, ensuring privacy for your participants. This can be adjusted in your settings, under “Ask for user information” if needed.

Survey statistics

Survey statistics appear on the results area for easier access. You can view and analyze responses by question and by respondent in real time, helping you identify trends and feedback quickly and efficiently.

Editing your online surveys

Applications and examples

In education: Educators can monitor students' progress with quizzes while gathering feedback on their learning experience with surveys. This technique supports both formative assessments (ongoing feedback during learning) and summative assessments (evaluation after instruction).

In business: Businesses can check how much customers know about their offerings while gathering valuable suggestions for improvement.

FAQ

Can I mix surveys and test questions in one assignment?

Yes! Traditionally, quizzes and surveys have been treated as separate tools: one for testing knowledge and the other for collecting opinions or feedback. With ClassMarker you can combine graded questions with survey-type questions in one assessment to:

  • Test knowledge with quiz questions.
  • Capture honest opinions with non-graded survey questions.
  • Gain instant feedback on your exams with survey questions.
  • Get deeper insights by analyzing everything in one place.

How do results appear to users when combining survey and exam questions in one assessment?

On the results page, all questions will be displayed. However, since survey questions aren’t graded (they have no points or correct/incorrect answers), only the responses will be shown for those questions.

Can I create surveys in different languages?

ClassMarker enables the creation of foreign language surveys. You can also set the interface buttons and instructions in the 25 available languages for tests and surveys.

Can I reorder questions in my ClassMarker survey?

Yes you can reorder questions by going to the “Edit” section of your survey. Use the “Set question ordering” option to drag and drop your questions into the desired sequence.

Can I preview my survey before sharing it with respondents?

How do I share my ClassMarker survey with respondents?

Surveys can be shared by assigning them to a registered user group or by generating a direct link to your survey or embedding the survey in your website. You can manage these options from the “Assign” section on your dashboard.

What happens if participants abandon a survey before completing it?

ClassMarker automatically finishes surveys after 24 hours to prevent incomplete responses from remaining “in progress.” You can adjust this time frame in your survey’s availability settings.
