Overview

Online Course Questionnaire (OCQ), sometimes called Course Questionnaire or Online Course Evaluation, is available for online course evaluations at all Indiana University campuses and schools except the IU School of Medicine.

Instructors may add up to three qualitative and three quantitative customized questions.

Important:

You will receive an email invitation to submit additional questions for each course. Once the deadline has passed, the option to add and update questions will no longer be available.

Note:

Microsoft Edge has known incompatibilities with the Course Questionnaire application. UITS recommends using a different browser (for example, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari). For more, see Web browsers to use with IU services.

Add customized questions

Select the link in the email invitation, and log in with your IU username and passphrase.
You have the option of adding up to six questions, divided as you like between "Quantitative" (multiple-choice) and "Qualitative" (open-ended) questions. To add a question, select Expand all for the question type you want to add.
For your first question, select Customize.
Enter your question in the Question Editor, then select the X in the upper right. For quantitative questions, you do not need to enter a scale; it has already been populated for you.
Select Include to add the question to the questionnaire. The question will show as "Included".
Repeat the steps above to add additional questions. When you're finished, select Submit at the bottom of the page.
