Endless Forms Most Beautiful

Forms can be used to gather information from students using several types of questions including multiple choice and Likert (opinion) scale. Forms are ungraded by default, and questions added to a form have no defined right answer. Forms are designed primarily for creating ungraded surveys or other feedback activities in Blackboard. Optionally, forms can be manually graded and used as an alternative to automatically-graded tests or quizzes in circumstances were student grades depend more on participation and/or instructor evaluation than on correct/incorrect answers.
