These instructions explain how to create a survey and embed that survey into an OpenLearning course using Google Forms. They also explain how to make the response data viewable for learners in an OpenLearning course.

Please note: In order to make the response data viewable, the survey creator will need to answer the survey questions one time. If this will compromise the response data, the instructions conclude with a way to remove that data.
