  1. Add your survey to Blackboard.

Vevox is an add-on to Blackboard; therefore you need to use Content Market to add it to Blackboard learning content.

Within the course Content area, go to the location you wish to add your poll e.g. Week 5 folder, click on the circle with the plus to add content:

 

 

This opens the Add content menu… select Content Market.

 

This opens up the list of ‘Institution tools’, arranged in alphabetic order, select Vevox.

 

This opens up the Vevox tool, select the session that contains your survey

 

Then select the survey e.g. Lecturer feedback survey from Surveys

 

Then select whether you want participants to be Anonymous or Identified.

  • Anonymous = Participants are fully anonymous therefore no grading information can be passed back to the VLE/LMS

  • Identified = Names will be hidden for other participants but the participants identity will be visible in the data reports and will pass back correct answer grading information to the VLE/LMS 

As it’s a feedback survey, chose Anonymous to encourage participation,then click Done.

This embeds the Vevox session in your course learning content.

 

4. Changing the name of the survey in Blackboard

You can use the ellipsis (three dots) to access drop down menu. Select the Edit option to give the activity a more intuitive name.

 

This opens up the right hand settings panel. Click on the name of your poll.
