The Survey widget lets you collect feedback at the end of your training. Choose the questions you want to ask, and the widget submits your audience's answers to our server, where you get an overview of all results.
BookWidgets is developing widgets we need before we even think to ask. I sometimes think "I wish this widget would do...", and the next thing I know they have added that capability.

How BookWidgets Works
Creating an interactive exercise with BookWidgets just takes a few easy steps:
1. Create
Create an activity ("widget")
Choose a type of activity ("widget") from a large collection of different activity types, and fill it with your own teaching content through an easy-to-use wizard.
2. Share
Share your widget with your students
The widgets you create will work seamlessly in multi-touch books created using iBooks Author projects, but can also be shared with student iPads via our free app or with student Chromebooks, tablets and PCs via the web.
3. Collect
Collect student work in your BookWidgets account
When your students carried out exercises, they can send their work back to you via the BookWidgets website.
4. Grade
Evaluate, grade and provide feedback to your students
Many exercises are automatically graded, freeing up time for you to give quality feedback to your students with a click. Furthermore, we provide the analytics you need to quickly determine problem areas, or students that need extra attention.
