The lecture survey online

Go directly to the survey here (Web Interface: Fill in in your browser)

This semester, the lecture survey will take place online and live for the first time using software developed here .

In each compulsory lecture a code will be handed out, with which you can participate in the survey in your smartphone app or the web interface immediately or later .

For this purpose, the following steps are already necessary beforehand:

1. Installing the smartphone app (a, b) or remembering the web link to the web interface (c):
   1. The app for Android is available here: LVSurvey for Android
   2. The app for iOS is available here: LVSurvey for iOS
   3. The web interface can be found here: Survey WebApp (please bookmark).
2. Accessing for the first time:
   1. Smartphone app: you have to log in to ITS once with your student account
   2. Web app: you have to log in to ITS every time
   3. Your submissions are always anonymous!
3. From now on you can use the app or the web interface anytime.

At our department, a software system has been developed with which surveys can be conducted online. This is intended to electronically collect feedback   for the improvement of courses and the study programs.  The software is suitable both for the lecture survey that takes place every semester and for e.g. weekly short surveys. From the winter semester 2014/15, the lecture evaluation survey is to be conducted online with it .

The prerequisite for participation is the use of a smartphone or tablet computer running Android or iOS. Alternatively, a web interface can be used (web browser).

All participating students can install the app on their mobile device or visit the corresponding website (see link below).

A short description of the smartphone apps can be found here: Instruction

The right app for your device is available here:

For Android users: LVUmfrage (link to Google Play Store, app free of charge)

For iOS users: LVUmfrage (link to App Store, app free)

Please install the app on your device and read our privacy notice at the bottom of this page.

The web interface for participation via web browser can be reached at this address (please log in with your student account, submissions are always anonymous):

https://digi-serv1.digi.e-technik.uni-kassel.de/Vorlesungsumfrage/webapp

Please enter the code of your respective survey at the beginning. Here you can also view the statistics (also of already completed surveys) by entering the corresponding code ("Statistics" button).

Please participate intensively in all surveys!

The app downloads prepared surveys from our server. To do this, you can scan a QR code or enter a 6-digit code. The questions (if necessary divided into groups on several pages) and can now be answered. As soon as you submit your answers (button on the last page) your input will be included in the survey and you will get the current intermediate result back for viewing (survey overview). You can update the intermediate result at any time. You cannot participate in the survey again.

To participate in a survey, you will receive a code consisting of 6 letters or digits. You can enter the code in the smartphone apps after tapping "+" or after logging into the web interface . The survey will then be loaded and can be completed.

On the smartphones, there is also the additional option of reading in a survey as a QR code (the QR image encodes the 6 code digits).

The procedure is as follows:

1. Start the app or log in to the web interface.
2. Entering the 6-digit code or scanning the QR code
3. Downloading the questionnaire (automatically)
4. Fill in the answers:
   1. In the web interface by clicking on "Start survey" 
   2. On the smartphone by tapping the survey entry in the list
   3. Answer questions as far as desired
5. Submitting the answers: "Submit evaluation data".
   1. Text/button in the smartphone app (last swipe page)
   2. Button at the end of the total question list in the web interface
6. Optional: view intermediate results
7. Refreshing the results display:
   1. Reload button in the smartphone app (button at the top right of the survey ↻)
   2. Re-entering the survey number and clicking on "Statistics

The surveys (data set with questionnaire) are loaded from a server at the University of Kassel. The answers sent by the apps are uploaded back to this server and stored there. No personal data is collected during these processes or stored .

To organize the surveys (authorized participation, prevention of multiple participation), you must log in with your ITS account ("student account"). From your registration, a hash value will be generated to be attached to your submissions. The hash value is stored separately from your submission so that your submission cannot be associated with you. The hash value can be used to ensure that multiple submissions cannot be made per survey.

To optimize the software, the app ID (iOS) or the device ID (Android) is stored, as well as data on the operating system you are using (OS version) and the screen resolution. This data is used exclusively to analyze and improve our software and cannot be associated with you.

If you do not agree with these terms, please do not install the apps or participate in surveys.
