The Application of Learning Survey helps you measure the application of your learning offers after the course has been completed by learners. It asks how or if the according skills have been applied and ideally should not be customised to allow for consistent reporting across courses.
The survey should be added to a course in addition to the Learning Impact and Experience Survey and be connected to a reminder that is automatically sent out a few weeks after the course has been completed. Results of the survey can be seen on atingi directly or be delivered via a custom metabase report. The Application of Learning Feedback Survey is not added to your template course by default, but you can learn below how to easily set it up.
Adding Feedback
Before you add the Feedback Activity, including the Application of Learning Survey template to your course, you should have all other activities and course completion set up and have the reengagement that sends a reminder to participate in the survey configured. Once this is in place, please proceed with the steps below. If you have any doubts, please don't hesitate to reach out to your atingi Customer Success Manager.
Like any other activity, feedback can be added to a course by turning the editing mode on and clicking on the “+” sign in the according section to add a new feedback activity.
Next, you need to give the activity a name and ideally a short description like the following:
"This feedback will be made available a few weeks after you have completed the course. You will receive a notification whenever you can submit your feedback."
Please tick “Display description on course page” so that learners are informed why the feedback is not available immediately after they have completed the course.
Availability and question and submission settings can stay as default, unless you want to receive an email notification for each submitted feedback. Please note that due to data privacy regulations, surveys on atingi should always be carried out anonymously.
If you like, you can add a completion message for the learner to receive after they have submitted the feedback. Common module settings can stay at default.
Most importantly, you need to configure an access restriction for your survey to connect it to the reminder that you set up in the re-engagement activity. If you haven't set up a reengagement activity yet, please do so first.
There are two access restrictions needed in the feedback activity:
1) Learner must match all of the following: “Course completed – Yes”
2) AND Activity completion: “[Name of re-engagement activity] must be marked complete”
Lastly, in the activity completion settings, choose “Submit feedback"
After you have set up the feedback as well as the re-engagement activity, please make sure that they are NOT selected under course completion.
With those settings, learners will receive a message and be granted access to the feedback activity within the scheduled delay time after completion of the course.
Choosing the correct template
Now that you have configured the settings, you only need to navigate to "Templates" and select the template provided in the feedback activity, called atingi - Post-course application of learning survey.
Click on the title, “Use this template” and “Delete old items” to use and edit the questions within your feedback activity (this doesn’t affect the public template).
Note:
Delete old items - Remove any questions/text types previously added to the Feedback Activity you are viewing before importing items from the selected Template.
Append new items - Add items stored within the selected template to the current Feedback activity, to any existing questions/text types.
It is possible to edit the questions within your course now, however, as mentioned earlier, this is not recommended for this type of survey. For a custom survey, we recommend choosing the template atingi - Post-course impact survey [customisable template].
To finalize the Application of Learning survey, click on “Save as new template” and it will be available under “Templates” and “Course” from now on. Replicate those steps for all courses that you would like to embed the survey in.
Please note that the feedback activity shouldn’t be edited anymore after the course has been launched, because making any changes could lead to data loss. Therefore, please make sure that your questions fit your M&E needs and if in doubt, ask the atingi team for help.
If you have set up reengagement and feedback activity, your learner will receive a notification asking them to give feedback after they have completed the course.
