Use our Surveys feature to collect meaningful opinions and comments from your class participants right from within your Remind dashboard. Sending a survey is a great way to discuss important topics with your class members. It's also a quick and easy way to obtain actionable feedback so you can make objective decisions throughout the school year. 

When you send out a survey, recipients only have to click on the link you sent them to access the survey. They don't have to worry about logging in. Also, our survey tool automatically gathers data your organization has shared with Remind (such as name and role, contact information, etc.). Survey recipients can focus on answering more engaging questions that will give you insight into their needs. 

We compile survey responses into an easy-to-read chart and CSV file so you can share the data and analyze it within the context of your classroom goals. Use Surveys to reach your participants, to obtain data you can use to continuously improve, and build a stronger relationship with your members.
