Using Forms to set tasks, make quizzes, and gain feedback
Microsoft Forms is a simple, lightweight website that lets you easily create surveys, quizzes, and polls.
It can be used to create quizzes, collect feedback from teachers and parents, or plan class and staff activities.
Forms can be used on desktop and mobile browsers - there's no need to download an app to create or respond to Forms.
It's part of our Office 365 package, so you use your email login details to sign in.

At first glance, forms and quizzes share many of the same features.
The main difference is that with a quiz, you're able to offer feedback to the responder as they answer questions - for example, on multiple choice questions, you can automatically praise correct answers, or guide students if they have chosen incorrectly.
It will automatically score answers for questions which are "right or wrong" style questions.
