Active/Completed/Expired
Surveys are broken up into three groups:
•Active: Active surveys are those that you haven't responded to and which are still available.
•Completed: Completed surveys are those that you have already finished.
•Expired: Expired surveys were not completed but are no longer available.
The information available for each type of survey is the same:
•Title (Link): The unique name of the survey event. Click the link to view the survey's properties or respond to it.
•Start Date: The date on which you received and can respond to this survey event.
•End Date: The date by which you must respond to this survey event if you want to give input on this survey, or the date on which the survey ended and became unavailable.
•Survey Type: This is the type of survey you have been asked to respond to. Currently the VISION Learning Station only supports DIF Surveys.
•Creator: The last and first name of the user who created the survey and assigned it to you.
DIF Survey
•Print button: Click this button to print the information on the screen.
•Suggested DIF Meanings button: Click this button to view a guideline of what the DIF values suggest. The meanings will reflect the DIF analysis model used by your organization.
•Task Name: The name of the first task for which you will enter DIF values.
•Not Applicable: Click this button if the specific task is not applicable to your expertise (if you don't feel that you have the knowledge to judge it). If there are more than one tasks on a survey, you can still respond to other tasks and have your DIF values counted.
•Task Details: Click this button to see further information associated with this task.
•Difficulty: How hard this task is to accomplish.
•Importance: How important it is that this task is accomplished correctly.
•Frequency: How often this task must be done.
•Item Comments: Enter any comments relevant to this particular task.
•General Comments: Enter any comments relevant to this survey as a whole.
Survey Event Complete
IMPORTANT: Setting the "Survey Event Complete" radio button to "yes" and clicking the "Save Final" button will lock the record so it can no longer be edited. This action also marks the record as finalized which allows its data to be counted in its associated survey and survey event. The information is not considered (nor is it part of the consolidated survey/survey event data) until it is marked and saved as complete.
If the survey event is not complete but you wish to close it, click the save button while the "Survey Event Complete" radio button is still on "No". If you close the survey without clicking the save button, you will lose your progress.
