"How do I distribute survey accounts to participants?"
Student and Teacher Survey
Once your survey is set up and activated, you must download a list of accounts to distribute to participants through the Survey taker list and passwords option under the My Surveys menu. The list will include a unique username and password for each participant. You can randomly distribute one account to each student who is taking the survey.
Most schools cut these usernames and passwords into individual slips of paper and allow students and Teachers to pick from a container before taking the survey. This increases confidence that the survey is truly anonymous.
Exporting the Survey taker list as a PDF is the preference if you intend to cut them out and distribute, the list will then show the survey type and the URL for TTFM. Below is an example of the PDF that is available to print. You also have the option of exporting as an Excel file or CSV.
Parents and Staff
Parent and staff members participate in the survey via a URL that is set up at survey setup. To access the URL, you will choose the Teacher survey or Parent survey from the drop-down list in the Survey taker list and passwords. Once you click submit you will be presented with the unique URL for the survey.
"I have set up a survey. Can you send me my student account login information?"
You can retrieve the list of usernames and passwords by selecting the Survey Taker List and Passwords option under the My Surveys menu. From there, you can choose to download the list in CSV, Excel, or PDF format.
"When setting up the survey, we estimated too few participants. Can you add some extra accounts and send them to me?"
If you need additional survey participant accounts, please contact the Helpdesk to request them. If your school has more than one active survey, be sure to mention which one you need the accounts created for. Ordinarily, we are able to create these new accounts the same day requested.
Once the extra accounts are created, you will receive an email from support@thelearningbar.com. From there, you can download the list of new accounts through the Survey Taker List and Passwords option under the My Surveys menu. The newest accounts will be the ones at the bottom of the list.
