Creating a likert rating scale with sub categories and feedback for each category with a downloadable .PDF.?

I have a set of principles that users need to rate themselves on from 1-3(Not at all, sometimes, always).

There are 5 categories. Each category has 4 to 8 principles. In a perfect world, the learner would rate themselves on one category, see their total, then move to the next category, see their total, etc. At the end, they'd see their over all results with some feedback based on what their score was. And, in a perfect world, download a .PDF of this information.

I have no idea where to begin with this. Are there any tutorials or examples available for this type of concept?

  • Hi

    If your requirement is to allow the learner to receive feedback on their responses to a multi-part survey and you aren't necessarily interested in sending the information back to an LMS, we have done this for in a number of projects using JavaScript to capture the user responses (we use a slider Likert scale).

    There's a demonstration here:

    Lifestyle Survey (profilelearning.com)

    The code involves uses an editable pdf form as the basis for the output - so inserting additional feedback based on the scores for each section of the survey is fairly straightforward.

    Hope this helps

      Thanks for the example. While I can see the application, the behind the scenes "how" is missing for me still. If you end up teaching a course/webinar on this or provide more instruction elsewhere, feel free to let me know!
