While I do not discuss this in the videos, it does look like Microsoft plans to offer automation by way of Microsoft Flow. The spreadsheet is just rows and columns of data, so if you want any fancy reports, you will have to build them yourself.
#MICROSOFT OFFICE FORMS UPDATE#
ResponsesĪs you can see in the following image, responses are real-time and update automatically as people submit their forms or quiz answers.Īnother nice feature is the ability to download a full copy of all the responses in an Excel spreadsheet. That said, the teacher can always pull up the score, but do not rely on Microsoft Forms displaying grades to students all the time. For example, there are times when the student cannot see their scores. Preview note: Microsoft Forms is still in preview (beta), so there are some issues with the product. The teacher can grade all the quizzes Tuesday and then post all the grades at once. The teacher can also post a group of quizzes, so let’s say the students have to turn in their work by end of day Monday. I was somewhat frustrated by this, but some teachers pointed out that if you let the students see their scores immediately, they might share it with other students. Also, it is up to the teacher to inform the students when their grade has been posted. If the teacher does not post the response, the student cannot see the grade. The act of posting allows the student to go back to the original form’s link and see their grade. Is it exactly 125 apples? How many pounds of apples?Īfter the teacher grades the response, they can post it. You can only do this with a supported Office 365 plan, and you define the forms using a visual editor that is so easy to use, I dare say anyone can do it.
Microsoft Forms was created to allow users to create forms or quizzes. When someone responds to a quiz, you are probably going to grade it, and maybe even let the respondent see their grade after the fact. For example, when someone responds to a form, you simply collect the data. While a form and a quiz are pretty much the same things, there are some subtle differences. If you are an educator you may want to verify your students are learning everything you teach, so you might create quizzes. Whether you are a corporation looking to get employee feedback or a marketer wanting to collect customer information, the best way to do this is to create a form. As always, this article contains more content than the videos, so please read on. In this article and associated videos, I will walk you through the core features of the product. Now, commercial customers with a valid Office 365 account can make use of this technology. This product was designed specifically for the education market.
In April, Microsoft released a new feature in Office 365 called Microsoft Forms.
