A response type is the way in which a learner is able to respond to the questions on an evaluation. These either take the form of two or more radio buttons. You cannot create a text box, but one is provided. Here you will attach labels and values to the text box or radio buttons that can be selected from a drop-down list when creating a course evaluation.
To create a response type, you will start by entering a title. Next, the Edit Response Type window will open and you will be able to add or change choices. The response type will start with three default choices, but you can rename, add to them, or delete them in order to customize the response type however you like.
Title
Enter a title for the response type. Be specific so that it is easy to identify this response type from a drop-down list that will only display its title.
Click the Next button to proceed.
Response Type Title
The title that you have already entered. You can edit it in line and then click the Save Title button.
Add Choice
Use this area to add additional response choices. Keep in mind that there are already 3 default response choices that you can edit at the bottom of the page.
•Choice Text: Enter the words that will describe this choice.
•Value: Choices will be displayed in order of value. We recommend using positive integers for satisfactory responses and negative for unsatisfactory ones.
•Description: Enter a description of the response choice to be used in the evaluation's legend.
If your response types use Values consistently you can get average values for questions from the Aggregated Evaluation Report.
