Every instructor eventually hits the same wall. You want to know what your students think, whether that's their background before a course starts, their reaction to a lesson, or what they actually got out of the whole program. The usual fix is a separate tool: a Google , a SurveyMonkey link, something that lives outside your course and asks students to click away to fill it out.

That gap is closed now. eProfessor's new Forms and Surveys feature lets you build questionnaires, intake forms, and feedback surveys directly inside your courses, attached to whichever lesson makes sense.

What you can build

A form in eProfessor isn't a graded assignment. It's a way to collect answers without treating them as coursework that needs to be reviewed, approved, or scored. That distinction matters: forms are for intake questions, feedback, and polls, the kind of information you want from students but never need to mark right or wrong.

You choose from several question types when building a form, including open text responses, checkboxes for multiple selections, and single-choice questions for things like yes/no or multiple-choice answers. Each question can be marked required or optional, so you control exactly what a student has to answer before submitting.

Attach a form to any lesson

This is the part that makes the feature genuinely useful rather than just another form builder. A form attaches directly to a lesson through the same content editor you already use to add video, text, or assignments. Open a lesson, click the Form content type, and you're given two paths.

The first is building something new, specific to that lesson. Give it a name, add an optional header with instructions for students, and start adding fields. The second path is linking a form you've already built, whether that's one used earlier in the same course or pulled from your account-wide library of forms. Reusing a form this way means every response, no matter which lesson it's attached to, feeds into the same data set. You're not maintaining five copies of the same intake questionnaire across five different courses.

See what your students are actually telling you

Once responses start coming in, eProfessor gives you two ways to look at them. An aggregated view shows you the shape of the data across everyone who answered: percentages for multiple-choice questions, a running list of open-text responses, a quick read on what most of your class actually thinks. A response-by-response view lets you open a single student's full set of answers when you need that level of detail instead.

You can also mark individual responses as reviewed, leave feedback on a specific submission, or do both in a single step. None of this requires grading, it's a way to engage with what each student actually said, not a pipeline for scoring them.

Why this fits how courses actually get built

Most course platforms treat content, testing, and feedback as three separate systems bolted together. eProfessor's assessment engine already handles graded testing, and the new Forms feature fills the other half of that equation, the parts of teaching that aren't about right or wrong answers at all: an intake form before a coaching program, a reaction survey after a heavy module, a simple poll asking which topic students want covered next.

Building all of this inside the same curriculum editor you already use, rather than juggling a separate survey tool, means fewer logins, fewer tabs, and less data scattered across systems that don't talk to each other.

Forms and Surveys is available now across all courses. If you've been stitching together Google Forms and screenshots to understand what your students think, this is the replacement.
