After you have created a survey, you need to "deploy" it to make it available to students. This tutorial assumes you have already created the survey and are prepared to post it in your Blackboard course.

For a tutorial on Creating a Blackboard Survey click here.

For a tutorial on Configuring a Blackboard Survey, click here.

From your course Control Panel, select the Content Area in which you like to place your survey.

Content Areas, which appear as menu buttons on the main course page, include: Course Information, Course Documents, and Assignments.

In this example, Course Documents was chosen as the Content Area. On the right-hand side, select Survey from the dropdown menu, then click Go.

Select the survey you would like to add from the list of existing surveys.

Click Submit.

After you have successfully added the survey, you have the option to modify it, and make it available to students.

Click Modify the survey options.

Select Yes to make the link visible (makes the survey available within your selected Content Area).

Select Yes to automatically generate an announcement on the Announcement page. Students must click on the content area (i.e. Course Documents, Assignments, etc.) from the course menu to access the available survey.

For additional information on configuring your survey, see Configuring Blackboard Surveys.

You may also set the date during which you would like the survey to be available.

Under Display After, select the availability date and time.

If you select Display Until, you may use the dropdown menus to select the date the survey is no longer viewable.

* Leaving this option unchecked will leave the survey open until you make the link no longer visible.
