Survey

A Survey collects answers. No score, no pass mark, no attempts. That single difference is what makes it worth testing separately from the quiz — the same question editor, none of the grading machinery.

The editor has a header (title, instructions, image) and the questions.

Question types

Five, one more than the quiz:

Question	Learner does
Multiple Choice	picks one option
Multiple Response	picks several
True/False	picks one of two
Essay	types free text
Rating	picks a value on a scale

Rating is survey-only — the quiz does not offer it, because there is nothing to mark correct. That is the difference to look for: no option here is a right answer.

The survey header carries no settings control either. A quiz has one; a survey has nothing to configure.

Reordering questions

Same as the quiz: each question has Move up, Move down, Duplicate and Delete, and the Questions side panel lists them for dragging, jumping and batch moves or deletes. See what activities share.

Steps

1. Add a rating question, a multiple choice question and an essay question.
2. Confirm the editor offers no pass mark, no attempts and no correct answer.
3. As a learner, answer all three and submit.
4. Reopen the survey as the same learner and edit the answers.
5. As an instructor, look for the responses.

What to check

• No grading settings appear anywhere in the editor.
• Submitting counts as completing the activity and moves progress forward.
• Editing a submitted response replaces it rather than creating a second one.
• Rating and Like render as scales, not as option lists.
• Responses reach the instructor’s view.

Where it usually breaks

• Survey behaving like a quiz — asking for a score or blocking progress.
• Re-submitting creating a duplicate response.
• Progress not advancing after submitting.
