How do you create a stand alone survey, which is not tied it to a specific course?

Hello, I am looking to create a survey to go out to our employees regarding a topic that is not course-related. In my search, I found an article on how to set up a survey, but it seems to be related to surveying a course only. Anyway, If possible, could someone please provide me with the path to creating this? Thanks!

You can definitely create Surveys outside of a particular course. You can create them at your top organization level and several others in-between that and a course, but you would need the right permissions enabled on your role to be able to do so and the Surveys tool needs to be turned on at the level you want to create one. If you are going to turn some of the permissions on, you may also want to take a look at the permissions you have enabled for Quizzes as well because there's a dependency between the View Quiz Setup permission and creating questions within Surveys.

Hope that helps!

A survey question related to this. Can I take a survey I created at the organizational level and bring it into a course? I do want to identify the course it is completed in, but the survey responses can be anonymous.

Hi @Paula.C.2956

Thanks for reaching out through the Community!

Yes, you can add a survey created at the organizational level to a course. However, please note that the Survey tool captures data at the Org Unit where the survey was originally created. This means that the responses are tied to the Org level, not to the specific course offering where the survey was linked or launched.

Currently, there's no functionality that segments or tags the responses based on the course from which the survey was accessed.

There are existing feature requests in the Product Idea Exchange (PIE) that align with this behavior. You can create a new idea or upvote any existing ideas using the link below:

Let me know if you have any further questions!

I hope Bhoomika's response will help to understand how the survey works within Brightspace.
