Microsoft Forms provides two types of media.

00:00:05

To collect the data you need forms.

00:00:08

And quizzes. If the authoring tools are

00:00:10

relatively the same for both types of media,

00:00:13

it is important to understand how

00:00:15

they differ to choose the one

00:00:18

that will really suit your needs.

00:00:20

In Microsoft forums you can create a survey

00:00:24

to extract specific data about a service,

00:00:27

product or process.

00:00:29

You can for instance evaluate

00:00:31

users or colleagues satisfaction.

00:00:34

With forms, you can also collect information.

00:00:37

For example, you can create a registration

00:00:40

form for an activity or book devices.

00:00:43

In short,

00:00:44

surveys help you collect information,

00:00:46

conduct further analysis,

00:00:48

or trigger an action.

00:00:49

The quiz focuses on how much you know.

00:00:53

It incorporates a system of correct

00:00:56

and incorrect answers and allows you

00:00:58

to assign points to your questions.

00:01:03

You can collect responses.

00:01:05

And view user scores on your quiz.

00:01:11

Quizzes are meant to assess how

00:01:14

much your users understand and

00:01:16

their level on a given topic.

00:01:18

Forms, on the other hand,

00:01:20

can be used in different ways,

00:01:22

but mainly to collect information

00:01:24

for a specific purpose.

00:01:25

Now that you know the difference

00:01:27

between the form and quiz

00:01:29

feature in Microsoft Forms,

00:01:30

apply the one that meets your needs.
