Microsoft Forms

Introduction 

Forms is an Office 365 app that allows you to quickly create custom quizzes, surveys, questionnaires, registrations, and more. When you create a form, you can invite others to respond to it using any web browser or Microsoft Teams, even on mobile devices. As results are submitted, you can use built-in analytics to evaluate responses. Form data, such as quiz results, can be easily exported to Excel for additional analysis. 

Important Note In accordance with the Queen's Policy on Administrative Student Surveys:  "All administrative student surveys are expected to utilize Queen's survey software (currently Qualtrics) unless the researcher(s) and Institutional Research & Planning agree that special circumstances warrant use of another system."  For more information, see the Queen's Survey Tool page on the Office of Planning and Budgeting website.  In addition, users acknowledge and agree that they will not use Forms to conduct surveys that put Queen's in violation of FIPPA, PHIPA and/or PIPEDA, or collect other personal or confidential information without appropriate approval. More information about research ethics is found on the University Research Services research ethics page.
