Microsoft Forms

Microsoft forms is a new surveying tool which is a part of UWTSD’s Office 365 education subscription. Forms provides the opportunity for a survey author to quickly and easily create individually customised surveys, questionnaires, quizzes and so on.

There are various formats and question structures available to choose from to create your individual form. After creation the survey author is then able to distribute the form in an easy manner being as simple as sending an email. Users who are invited to complete the given questionnaire, survey etc. can do so with ease on desktop computers, laptops and mobile devices. Once the results start to roll in, the survey author is then able to use the simple built – in analytic tools within Forms to analyse the results and construct them into reports such as Excel tables.

Although there are other surveying tools available (Google, Survey Monkey etc.) Microsoft Forms is the standard for UWTSD as all data is held securely within the university's Office 365 tenancy.
