HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating a Survey Form (Admin) [UW-Madison]

AEFIS is now HelioCampus AC. For information about the HelioCampus AC rebrand, review this KnowledgeBase document

This document describes how to create a survey form in HelioCampus AC (Formerly AEFIS). Only HelioCampus AC (Formerly AEFIS) administrators can create survey forms.

HelioCampus AC survey forms are part of the architecture of an HelioCampus AC course evaluation. For a more complete explanation of how course evaluations are created, refer to HelioCampus AC - Eval - Getting Started with Online Course Evaluations (Admin) [UW-Madison] 

   

Creating a New Survey Form

  1. Go to the Survey Form dashboard.
    1. Log into HelioCampus AC with your NetID credentials.
    2. Select the Menu button (three stacked lines) on the left side of the page to open the HelioCampus AC main menu.
    3. Select Survey Form Designer under Surveys.
      HelioCampus AC menu with Survey Form Designer highlighted
  2. Click the + Add Survey Form button on the right side of the page.
    Add Survey Form button is next to the Export button
  3. Enter a name for your survey form. You will not be able to change the survey form name once the form is published, so make sure the name adequately describes the form. The form name will not be visible to students. Since forms are commonly used for multiple courses, across multiple semesters, we recommend avoiding using course titles and dates in the survey form name.
  4. Select a survey type from the drop down menu.
    • Student Course Evaluation
      • This is the most commonly used survey type. Most UW-Madison departments send out midterm and/or final course evaluations to students.
      • Survey responses are anonymous.
      • Several reports are available.
    • Faculty Course Evaluation
      • This survey type collects faculty or instructor feedback on particular courses.
      • Surveys are not anonymous.
    • General Course Evaluation
      • This survey can be sent to both students and instructors.
      • Surveys can be anonymous.
    • Alumni Survey
      • This survey is sent to a selected group of alumni.
      • Surveys are not anonymous.
      • The list of survey recipients must be uploaded as a .csv file containing first name, last name, and email address.
    • External Group Survey
      • This survey type is not recommended.
      • The results are not seen on the faculty dashboard and a user group must be created with participants.
      • No reports available.
      • Surveys are not anonymous.
      • The list of survey recipients must be uploaded as a .csv file containing first name, last name, and email address.

Building the Survey Form

By this point, you have created a blank survey form. You now are required to add at least one question. See  HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating and Editing Questions (Admin) [UW-Madison].

You may consider creating metrics for this course evaluation. See HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Form - Creating Survey Metrics (Admin) [UW-Madison]. (Note: Metrics are not required.)

Once these tasks are complete, you must publish the survey form before moving onto the next step, of creating a survey schedule, HelioCampus AC - Eval Survey Schedule - Creating a New Survey Schedule (Admin) [UW-Madison]
