Online Student Evaluation Survey

Need an easy way to collect Student Evaluations for your Distance Learning course? Use the Distance Learning survey tool - QAAL - Question and Answer Library.

We have already created an electronic version of the Student Evaluation survey found in the FHDA Faculty Handbook. You can start with that. If you would prefer to customize that survey instrument to meet your specific course needs, it is easy to modify our existing template or create one of your own.

Student responses

As students complete and submit their student evaluation surveys, you will receive an anonymous email with the information provided by the student. There is no information about the source of the email, as this is all handled by a program.


Reorder questions
  • There is a Question Sequence Number box in the question input/update page.
    (This is an advanced feature so it is not visible in the default Novice mode. If the Question Sequence Number is not visible, navigate to Edit Account to change your account profile User Level from Novice to Intermediate)

  • For each question you want to reorder, access the question page and fill in a sequence number in the order that you want the questions to appear.

    You can leave gaps in the numbers to allow for possible later additions and changes. Any questions that do not have a specific Question Sequence Number will display in the order they were entered above questions with assigned Question Sequence Numbers.


Delete Questions
  • Access the question to be deleted and click the Delete question button


Advanced features
  • QAAL can be used for other kinds of quizzes with right and wrong answers.
  • You can provide text to be displayed depending on the student's response.
