Creating Survey Learning Components
To create survey learning components, use the Survey Definition (LM_SURVEY_DEFN) and Maintain Classes (LM_ACT) components.
Enterprise Learning Management also integrates with third-party survey engines to launch surveys and track completion status of the survey. Examples of survey learning components include:
Post-class survey to gather learner feedback on the effectiveness of the instructor, learning material, and overall class.
Learning component survey to gather learner feedback on the effectiveness of a particular learning component.
