Surveys are a great way to measure the effectiveness of your e-learning. They can help you understand how learners interact with your content and collect feedback on your training. E-learning pros also reference survey data for inspiration to develop new content and improve their courses.

When you’re ready to create your own survey, you’ll want to start by establishing an objective: What do you hope to learn from the results? Next, decide what type of questions you’ll ask. We recommend a mix of multiple choice Likert scales and open-ended questions to keep survey takers engaged. Finally, to maximize response and completion rates, your post-course survey should take no longer than five minutes to complete.
