Our student services specialist would like to create a online readiness survey similiar to this survey http://www.unc.edu/tlim/ser/ within a Blackboard Organization group for our potential distance learners. We create a survey, but are having trouble with it to display the personalized feedback - is this possible or not?
Dena Fife You need to use software that can generate customized feedback - it is not related to the user being anonymous or not, it is a Boolean response generated based on the question answers. Blackboard surveys don't do this, but I have used QuestionMark software and it allows very complex responses to be generated and because it has a Blackbord plug in, QM assessments can be delivered in Blackboard. I'm sure there are other venders as well.
Thank you - will look into it
It is possible to provide personalized feedback using Blackboard Tests, and you can also use adaptive release rules to release custom content based on grade centre responses from a test (such as an item with feedback based on a users test score). It may not be terribly sophisticated compared to other survey tools however. It is a shame the Blackboard survey tool does not have similar functionality.
There is a basic guide here to Blackboard Test feedback: Blackboard Test Results and Feedback Options - YouTube
And a guide on Adaptive Release rules based on test score (page 4): http://www.dartmouth.edu/~blackboard/help/Bb9_1/pdf/adaptive%20release.pdf
Thank you

Blackboard surveys are anonymous and from what I understand it is not possible to identify individual responses, which would be needed in order to provide personalised feedback. In such a situation we have always resorted to using a different survey tool (survey monkey or qualtrics) or making the survey a test.
It would be a great feature to be able to create surveys which are not anonymous.
