Your responses help us find ways to improve our courses for you and those who follow you. We strive to keep moving forward with technology and content in your courses, but only if it is helping you. If the content or technology is blocking you from learning, we want to know! If you have ideas on how to improve the content or technology, we want to know that, too!
Where can you find your course’s surveys? Look in the last Learning Module, it’s supposed to be there. If not, click on the Web Links button on the left-hand menu in your course. The survey should be listed near the bottom of the Web Links.
If all else fails, let your instructor know that you want to take the survey!
