Docebo allows you to create surveys for users that have completed courses in the platform. A survey is a useful tool to help you understand what students think about the courses they’re attending. Users are free to express their opinions because their answers remain anonymous.
This manual will show you how to create a survey, the types of questions that are available for surveys, and how to analyze the results.
Login to the platform, and access the course for which you would like to create a survey.
Remember that in order to add a survey to a course, you must be signed in as an Admin or an Instructor. Select Admin Menu from the Sidebar, then select the Coursesitem.
Find the course for which you’re interested in adding a survey from the Courses list, press the menu icon at the end of the course’s row, then select Training Material from the dropdown menu.
Once you’re on the course’s Training Materials page, select the green Add Training Material button, then select Survey from the dropdown menu.
Add a Title and a Description for the survey.
Now, move to the Additional Info tab to add a short description and a thumbnail for the survey. You can choose from a selection of pre-loaded thumbnails, or upload your own.

Click the Add question button, then select which type of survey question you would like to add from the dropdown menu.
