Conduct a participant survey as part of the seminar evaluation in the immediate impression of the event

Conduct participant surveys for seminar assessments with QuestionPro

The participant survey as part of the seminar assessment, also known as course evaluation or course evaluation, is a very popular procedure for measuring the quality of seminars and courses. Whether adult education centers, private education providers, employment agencies or even state educational institutions such as schools and universities: the evaluation of the teaching content and methodology, but also the assessment of the location and the general conditions play a central role in quality management. The participant survey is therefore an important tool for all education providers as part of the general seminar assessment.

“The Sparkassenakademie Hessen-Thüringen, which uses QuestionPro for seminar assessments, values ​​QuestionPro’s ability to easily create surveys and its numerous professional evaluation tools.”

Thanks to modern survey technologies: Paper & Pencil has become obsolete when evaluating seminars!

If you want the feedback from your seminar participants to actually reveal useful insights as part of a seminar evaluation, then you should carry out the participant survey immediately after the event has ended. Because then the evaluation by the participants is still a direct impression of the content, methodology and design of the event.

The classic variant is that seminar leaders hand out paper questionnaires, which are then filled out and handed in by the seminar participants on site. Lecturers then briefly read through the questionnaires - or often just skim them - and form their own, subjective thoughts about the content. The questionnaires are often not recorded electronically at all because typing them up takes time and ties up human resources. However, this means that no long-term assessment is possible. A permanent assessment of one's own performance is not possible, even though there was actually valuable feedback from the participants.

Mobile seminar evaluation: participant survey in the immediate impression of the event

Easily survey your seminar participants “mobile”! Variant 1: The seminar organizers usually have the email addresses of the participants. Links to online questionnaires can be easily sent by email, with QuestionPro even with integrated participant and email management. However, there is a big challenge here: By the time the seminar participants access this link, for example when they are back home or sitting on the train, some time may have already passed. And whether the participants will even be interested in taking part in the survey to evaluate the seminar is a completely different matter. If the participants do answer, you have the advantage that no one in your company has to type out the data. But the feedback from your participant survey is no longer immediate. This could distort the seminar evaluation.

Distribution of the evaluation form via QR code for mobile devices

Another interesting variant is the following: at the end of the seminar, the lecturer projects a QR code on the wall that links directly to a survey page for seminar assessment. Here, participants can easily scan the code and share their impressions directly after the event. Pretty much everyone has a smartphone with them. And completely independent of the device, mobile questionnaires for seminar evaluation from QuestionPro can be easily filled out on any screen. For more extensive seminars or courses, this QR code variant is even possible after each topic block, so that a differentiated assessment of the event is available for all subdivided topic areas. The data automatically ends up in the QuestionPro analysis module, so that lecturers already have the evaluations of the seminar assessment when they go to their writing session with a cup of coffee after the seminar.
