Quizzes and Surveys - how to use them?
What’s the difference between a Quiz and a Survey?
Quizzes are a form of fun, gamification, or knowledge testing that makes your event more engaging, while the ability to score points and compete encourages guests to actively participate.
Surveys are a good way to gather opinions or collect quantitative and qualitative data depending on the methodology used, which can be applied to conduct statistical research.
A survey is used to gather feedback from event participants, allowing you to see which elements of your event’s organization were appreciated and which need improvement.
When creating a survey or quiz, remember that saved questions cannot be edited while the quiz/survey is ongoing. Making changes to the questions will permanently delete the results collected so far.
Creating Surveys
To create a survey, go to the Surveys/Quizzes module and click on (+) Add your first survey or quiz and fill out all required fields marked with an asterisk (*).
Give your survey a catchy name that encourages users to fill it out. Then in the Published field, choose whether you want to publish your survey immediately or not. This is the only field that can be edited while the survey is ongoing. During the event, you can safely show and hide surveys, which will not affect the results gathered so far:
Asking questions in surveys
When creating a survey, in the Question field, you can add closed questions (single or multiple choice) and open-ended questions. You can change the order of added questions and answers by grabbing the question in the far-left corner and dragging it up or down:
On the right side of each answer, there’s a red trash icon that you can click to delete the answer. If you want to delete the whole question, select the button Delete Question. If you want to add another question to the same survey, choose Add Question.
Only surveys can have questions with an open-ended response option.
Creating Quizzes
If you want to create a quiz, enable Enable Quiz Mode. Once activated, a new checkbox Visible Results unlocks, where you decide whether participants will see their individual results right after completing the quiz or if you prefer to keep them for yourself. They'll only see their total gathered points, not information about which questions they answered correctly. To show the result to the user, select Yes. In the next column in the Published section, choose whether your quiz should be visible right now:
Creating questions in quizzes
Quiz questions can only be in the form of closed questions and must be single-choice questions. Remember to mark which answers are correct in the quizzes.
Thanks to the Surveys/Quizzes module, you can test the knowledge of your event participants, prepare a fun activity sponsored by your event partner, or create a test to check knowledge after a day-long workshop, rewarding the best participants.
Visibility of surveys and quizzes for users
Surveys and quizzes can be published immediately or gradually revealed during the event. To publish and hide quizzes/surveys, change the values in the Published field. If you want to hide the entire module in the app, go to the sidebar, click the ellipsis, and choose the Hide Component button:
You can conduct a survey or quiz with a selected group of system users. For example, if there are workshops taking place during your conference and you want the survey respondents to be only the people attending the workshops, you can first assign those people to a Workshops group. To do this, use this article.
If you want to add a specific audience group for which the Quiz will be visible, click the ellipsis on the right side of the module and select the button Choose user group. In the newly opened window, click on Choose user group tag and select the corresponding tag from the dropdown list. Remember to remove the tag All Users, which is automatically added by the system.
Alternatively, you can leave the entire module with Surveys and Quizzes visible to everyone, and only assign specific elements to appropriate groups using the Choose User Groups section.
Visibility of Results
Results from Quizzes and Surveys, where the participant answered all questions and clicked Send, are collected by the system and made available in real-time visually on external pages. To view quiz data in the admin panel, go to the Manage section, then select the Surveys/Quizzes label on the side menu. All your quizzes will appear on the screen:
To get information about the results, click on one of them. If you want to display the results on a big screen, copy the link and paste it into your browser:
For surveys with closed questions, the results show quantitative data and the percentage of responses. Additionally, if an open-ended option was added to the question, it appears below. In the case of quizzes, the result is displayed as a table with first names, last names, and the total points gathered.
In the Survey & Quizzes module, there’s an option to export the responses of each survey and quiz. You can download the data as a CSV file from Manage>Survey & Quizzes>Edit Survey using the function Export, indicated by a cloud icon with a downward arrow. Press the export button and download the data:
