Forms: Notification when answers have been given
- Adding notification feature is currently in our backlog. Thanks for taking the time and sharing your feature request with us.
Email notifications would be an awesome feature for us in Higher Ed! One example use case: a form could be embedded in an LMS course to let students easily ask a question privately to the instructor. However, this won't work if the instructor has to remember to check the form frequently. Even just a simple on/off toggle for notifications and a choice of a notification for every entry vs. a daily digest would work wonders.
Hi Ben Kahn.
Am interested in the scenario you mentioned i.e. using Microsoft Forms to ask a question privately to the instructor.
What about using other 'conversation/chat' tools for that? e.g. Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Classroom (soon to be integrated into Teams).
Hi Gilbert,
Certainly, Teams could work but a form is a much simpler and obvious solution to allow a learner to submit a question to an instructor from within the LMS. Our college already has an LMS in place that is the focus of teacher/student interaction. Most faculty and students will not want to layer on the additional complexity of adding an entirely new workspace (Teams) over the LMS.
