How to set up a mid module feedback survey in Vevox (step by step)

You can set up a mid- or end-of-module survey in less than 5 minutes!

That’s it. For fuller step-by-step guidance follow the below…

Step 1: Log in to Vevox & create a new session

• Go to the Vevox login page.
• Sign in using your credentials (if your institution is on an institutional plan login with your university credentials).
• Select ‘Create Session’.
• Give the session a clear name, including the module code:
  • Example: Mid‑Module Feedback (PSYC0040)

Step 2: Add a survey to the session

• Within the session, go to Surveys and ‘Create New’.
• Either:
  • Select a template or shared question set (recommended).
    • Many departments/institutions reuse a standard mid‑module survey and simply duplicate it for each module.
  • OR, Create a short survey from scratch.
    • Remember to keep it simple and short and a mix of question types.

Step 3: Check anonymity and settings (optional)

• Check the survey is set to anonymous.
• If this is a feedback‑only session, you may want to disable Q&A to avoid confusion.
• Edit the student welcome text to briefly explain:
  • What the feedback is for
  • How long will it take
  • How responses will be used
  • Find the survey on the tab notated with a clipboard icon

Step 4: Share the session (if needed)

• If someone else will run the session, share the session with the relevant lecturer or module convenor.

This is commonly used when multiple staff teach the same module, or when a central department member creates and sets up Vevox activities on your behalf.

Step 5: Get the survey ready to go

• Click Start session (if not already done, to allow the session to be accessed).
• Click Open survey (to allow students to start entering responses into your survey).
• (if needed) You can link Vevox activities to your VLE/LMS and integrate the data if this has been set up for your institution.

Step 6: Provide the students with the QR code (and/or link)

• Display the QR code to students.
  • It’s best to show the QR code at the beginning of the session, not at the end.
• Give students 5–10 minutes immediately to complete it.
• Briefly explain:
  • Why are you asking for feedback
  • That responses are anonymous
  • How you’ll use the feedback

Step 7: Close the survey

• Once most students have responded, close the survey.
• You can leave it open longer if needed, but most responses come during the live window.

Step 8: Review and download results

After the session:

• View results directly in Vevox.
• Export the data if needed for:
  • module review
  • reflection
  • sharing with department teams
