Learning Experience survey


Instructions for On-line Survey Development

For each Learning Experience hosted by the Center for States, a feedback survey will be created in on-line survey software and embedded in the curriculum’s pre-post testing to gather feedback that can inform project planning. Given the changing nature and content on each experience, it is important to be able to get feedback from recipients without creating undue burden by answering excessive questions that only marginally apply. To address this, the survey will be tailored to the unique information needs of each experience to ensure low burden while informing high quality service provision. The surveys will include pre/post test questions, 6 required feedback questions, and a selection of optional context specific feedback questions (up to 10). There will be a maximum of 15 pre/post questions per instructional hour (e.g., multiple choice) which will be used only to collect continuous quality improvement information and for participants to use to inform their learning or acquire continuing education units.


For Learning Experiences that consist of a single event (e.g. on-line session or in-person training): Each tailored survey will have no more than 45 questions, including 6 required feedback questions, 30 pre/post questions, and a maximum of 10 optional questions, with a burden of no more than 20 minutes.


For more intensive Learning Experiences that require administration of multiple surveys over a series of events, modules, or units: A tailored survey for each module will have no more than 21 questions, including the pre- post-test for that module, for a burden of no more than 5 minutes. The last event, module, or unit will include a survey at the same burden level as the single event (20 minutes).
