Subject: Re: Analysing surveys created in BB
Thanks everyone for your replies - although not all of your messages seem to
have appeared on the list; I've tried to forward them back to the list so if
it gets messy it's my fault.
I must say I'm quite shocked (though not entirely surprised) by this obvious
lack of functionality. The whole point of a survey in my view is that you
can analyse the results (think MORI, market research etc.). I'm originally
from a psychology background and the idea of being able to survey people
without being able to examine the results easily seems toally proposterous
to me.
This begs the question - are there any functional differences between a
survey and an assessment in blackboard?
sorry to rant but I just can't understand what was going through the minds
of the developers when they added this "feature".
Andy
