Assessments & Surveys

Middlebury has a number of tools available for online assessments and surveys.  These tools allow you to create a set of questions for people to answer and then aggregate those answers and do statistical analysis of the answers.

Measure

Measure is an instance of the Moodle course management system that we have customized for use at Middlebury College.  Measure allows you to create online quizzes.  The quizzes can have different question types including multiple choice, cloze (i.e. fill-in-the-blank), short answer and essay type questions.
