Introduction
Forms is an Office 365 app that allows you to quickly and easily 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, 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, refer to Conducting a Survey at Queen's page on the Institutional Research and Planning (IRP) 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.
