How to Use Google Forms

What is a Google Form?

Google Forms are used to conduct surveys and quizzes to collect information and data from an individual or a group of people.


Google Forms are either sent via email to be filled out or a shared link is used to access the form. 


Opening a Google Form

From your email or from the shared link, open the Google Form.


Instructions and questions will appear on the form relevant to the topic. 


Yes or No 

There are a few formats for different types of questions. 


For example, a yes or no question can be answered by clicking on the circle to the left of the pre-filled answer selection.



Multiple Choice

A question that can be answered with multiple choices will appear with a tick box to the left of the pre-filled answer selection. 



Number Scale

A question that can be answered with a number scale will appear horizontally with a low to high option and the relevant scaling options in between.


Select the preferred number in the scale by clicking on the circle below the number to answer the question.
