Forms can be added to OnEdu Learning Environment and
from there also to Zine publications.

2. Where from and who can view the answers?
– As presumption the answers are sent to the administrator (Mobie Ltd).
– Open FORM SETTINGS and take off the NOTIFICATIONS. You can
view the entries from OnEdu (which Empower Group calls eSmart).
– If you wish to get an email notification on each answer, do not take the
notification off but edit it and replace {admin mail} with your own.
1. Start by asking for the respondents name!
Add more questions by choosing and editing fields.
2. Add the form to your course environment.
Do it by editing a lesson or topic and choose:
Define it as a sample lesson/topic if you wish persons without
OnEdu account to fill it in.
