You can add Custom Questions to your official Online Course Evaluation. Custom Questions must be created and then attached to your official evaluation before you release it to students.
Access the Online Course Evaluations page:
Log into Canvas and click on "Account," “Profile,” and then “Course Evaluations.”
NOTE: It sometimes takes a few seconds for the "Course Evaluation" link to show up, so wait if you don't see it right away.
If you have a student role in any courses, you will automatically be entered into EvaluationKIT with the Student/Respondent role. If this happens, click the drop-down in the upper right and choose “Instructor” to enter the instructor role.
Create your Custom Survey:
You are creating a mini-survey of questions to attach to the University-wide survey. You can re-use this survey with multiple courses, so you only need to create more than one if you have different questions for different courses.
Click on the “Custom Questions” drop-down and select “Custom Questions Surveys.”
Click on “Create New Custom Question Survey.”
Give this Survey a title, enter a description so that you can remember what this survey was created for, and then click the "Save" button.
Add your Custom Questions:
In the “Question Management” section at the bottom of the page, click the “Add a Question” drop-down and select “+ Create New.”
Click the “Question Type” drop-down, click on the question type, and then click the “Continue” button.
Here is an example of a “Single Selection” question type:
Click the “Save & Add” button in the upper right.
You’ll now be able to see your question (1). Click the icons in the upper right to edit, delete, or copy the question (2). Click on the “Add a Question” drop-down to add another question (3). Click “Done” when you’re finished adding questions.
Attach Your Custom Survey
After creating your Custom Survey, you need to attach it to your official Online Course Evaluation. Click on “Custom Questions” in the blue bar and then select “Custom Question Projects.”
Click the “Plus” sign to the right of the project you will be attaching your custom survey to.
Click “Add Custom Question Survey.”
Click the “Check Mark” to the right of the Custom Survey you want to attach, and then click the “Select Courses” button.
Next, click on the “Add Courses” button.
A list of the courses you can attach the questions to is shown. Click the box to the left of all courses you want to attach these custom questions to, and then click the “Add Selected Courses” button.
A box will pop up letting you know you have successfully added the custom questions. Click “OK” to close the pop-up box.
You will now need to release your Online Course Evaluation to students. Follow the instructions here: Setting up Online Course Evaluations
