Adjust course survey via Canvas

New system for course evaluation and course analysis in use from study period 3 VT25

These pages describe the new system for course evaluation and course analysis that is being used from study period 3, spring semester 2025. It replaces the previous system, LEQ.

System support for automatically initiated action plans  will be operational starting at the end of study period 1, HT25. Functionality for course coordinators to add more authorized users to surveys has been requested by the supplier but we don't know when it will be in place.

Receiving an error message?

If you are getting an error message when you access Course Evaluation in Canvas for the first time, it may be because your account has not been created. You need to log in by going to courseevaluations.edu.kth.se/admin  and clicking on “KTH-Edu”. If you are logged in somewhere at KTH, you will be logged in automatically. Then you can access the tool via Canvas.

Find the survey

You can find the survey by going to the course room in Canvas and clicking on "Course Evaluation" in the course menu. A pop-up window may appear asking you to authorize the feature to access your account. If so, click on "Authorize". After that, a view will appear where you can see your course evaluation, the survey’s status, and the dates it will be open. The default language of the survey is the teaching language of the course instance. 

Adjust survey send date

If you click on your survey, you will be taken to a settings view where you can adjust the send date of the survey. By default, the survey is set to be sent out on the Monday after the course’s end date, but you can change this to up to 35 days earlier or up to 7 days later. To change the date, select a date in the date picker under "The survey opens". The closing date of the survey is locked to 11 days after your selected start date.

Click "Save" to save your chosen date. Note: If you select today’s date, the survey will not be published immediately but during the next sync, which occurs overnight.

Review of text answers

If you activate the "Review of text answers" feature, a moderator from your school will review the free text responses that students write when they respond to the survey. The purpose of the review is to reduce discomfort for the teacher, not to change the student feedback. Moderation should therefore be limited to a minimum and only include text that can be perceived as inappropriate, irrelevant or offensive. The starting point is that the comments should be relevant to the development of the course. Please note that activating this means that it may take a few days before you can see the results after the survey has closed.

Add questions

To add questions, go to the "Content" tab in the survey. At the bottom of the common questions, there is a green "+" button. Click it to add a question. A box will then appear where you can choose which question type you want. You can add questions in the formats of Yes/No, radio buttons or free text. For free text, the type "Field" is a smaller text box, and "Memo" is a bigger text box. 

Once you add a question, it is automatically saved.

Note! Translate custom questions

The students can view the survey in both Swedish and English, so it is a good idea to translate the questions you create yourself. You can do this by clicking on the pen icon to the right of the question and then switching languages at the top of the editing box that appears. If you do not add a translation, the question will be displayed in the language in which you originally entered it.
