Survey

[Eric Gustafson]

One feature I'd love to see which none of the major competing products (NetOp school, NetSupport School) has yet either is a feedback form. This would not be liike a quick-poll/survey feature or quiz that has right or wrong answers. The feedback questionaire should allow multiple choices as well as an 'other' choice with a textbox for their other input.

The tutor/instuctor station should be able to view the results based upon workstation name or question number, and provide a summary if requested (ie, Q#4, 50% chose Answer#1). The feedback form, once viewed by a workstation, should be the topmost application and not allow any other work until it is completed. I would also hope for an option to place a button or icon somewhere on the workstation (desktop/systray) so the student may finish their current work and then launch the feedback questionaire.

The other deployment option would be to force the feedback questionaire immediately, pre-empting anything else the user is doing, then returning the prior mode of control the user had. (ie, Show the tutor screen to all students, deploy the feedback form and when completed, the student will still be seeing the tutors workstation (via show mode).

example:
Q: How informed do you feel the instructor was in presenting this class?
1 - Very Informed
2- Somewhat
3- Not at all
4 - Other - [ ]

I know this is a bit much, but I also feel that it is something that would be extremely useful for many -- through the years I've filled out many of these type of feedback forms and still see them prevalent today.

Thanks for your time and consideration,

I would agree with this request. It is the only functionality that is missing from AB Tutor when comapred to other desktop management systems.

If you would like to surpass the other products my ultimate request would be a polling/testing system that pulled their login username and test result and stored the result in a central database e.g. MS Access or MySQL etc. This would allow me to do question level analysis, import into the school reporting system and inform leveling of the student.

An immediate report to the student would also be preferable so they could print it and take it home. This would have the basics of showing the questions, their answer, the correct answer and their percentage. A running total of all the students test results in the database would be amazing.

Well you did call it a wish list!!!!!! B)
