In developing my course for online delivery, I had a survey that addresses online learning and readiness. I have condensed this to 10 questions to gain information about my students as it is helpful when students struggle and ask for advice on how to succeed on line.
This provides me information with how they are taking an online course, how many online courses they have already taken, what strategies they use for learning ie - how time is budgeted for the course, perception of skill with computerized assignments, when they plan to set aside time for the course and who may struggle as they prefer the audio, tactile or kinesthetic style of learning.
I included three open ended question to address concerns with online learning and the structure/formatting with cyber learning and the rest with multiple choice questions. I initially had trouble with inserting the link and got several errors messages that the 'tag line is closed' . . . ughhh! . . . . what does that mean? . . . so now 2 hours later with trial and error, the link is ready after a learning curve
. . . . . well, now 24 hours later, I realize I didn't read thoroughly enough the directions and have redone the survey creating all open ended questions :-) and I wonder sometimes why students don't follow directions or the criteria in the rubric!
The link is ready for you to take my survey. Click on the link below for my precourse survey in Nursing Mental Health that was created using surveymonkey.com. I welcome feedback for improvements/Jeanne/EC,WI

Jeanne,
I think that your survey questions are very solid and will gain beneficial information from your students.
I challenge you, however, to share some info about yourself with each question to create an even friendlier, collaborative atmosphere right from the start.
Well done! ~ Datta Kaur
Thanks for the reflective comments Datta. I have two different perspectives with 'pre course' survey. (1) Is this a survey for students already enrolled with how they learn, what they want to accomplish?, etc or (2) seeking data on how to change the design or ways to modify such as with a learning contract?
With a State curriculum, I can't change several factors within the course, but can change my delivery of teaching and how I design it so that learning objectives are measurable. You comment gives me some consideration on how to make those adaptations. Thanks Jeanne
