Special Edition 4: Canvas Hack: Create a Internet Access Survey

Thanks to Mara Palma-Sanft for sharing a survey her high schoolers received in preparation for going remote!  This can help you get a sense of your students' ability to access your course materials online, and work directly with students who may have challenges that have nothing to do with course content.

I revised the high school-oriented survey to reflect Miramar's setup and created a poll in Canvas for my students. 

 To create a poll in Canvas: 

• Create a new Quiz
• Select UNGRADED SURVEY in the pull down menu
• Create multiple choice or fill-in-the blank questions
• Save and publish!
