Direct Survey Links
District primary contacts have access to direct start links via the admin portal under the option “Obtain direct links”. These survey links allow your participants to bypass school look up and survey selection and instead start right at the beginning of their appropriate survey. You will need the email address and admin password registered to your district’s account to login.
Once logged you will have the option to select from your district’s school list and from a list of Speak Up survey audiences to build your survey groups. A survey group is a set of schools that are taking the same set of surveys. For example, choose all of your elementary schools and the appropriate grade level surveys. You may also choose Teacher, Administrator and Parent surveys if you wish to provide them direct links.
To receive one generated direct links report for all your schools with all audience use the select all options.
Please note, direct links work in addition to the regular survey login page. Even if you use direct links, no one is prevented from going to the Speak Up site and taking a survey by selecting their school and the survey to take.
