You can set up a mid- or end-of-module survey in less than 5 minutes!
| In short: the simplest successful setup is …. | |
| 1 | Log in to Vevox & create a session |
| 2 | Add a short, anonymous survey |
| 3 | Check the survey anonimity & settings |
| 4 | Show the QR code at the start of a session |
| 5 | Give students time to respond |
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.
- Select a template or shared question set (recommended)
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
Allocating time in‑session is one of the biggest factors in achieving good response rates.
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 programme teams
