Questionnaire is one of my favorite modules for Moodle, and I use it for all sorts of surveys and information gathering that I’d normally have had to use SurveyMonkey, Zoomerang, or one of those other tools (including GoogleApps).

Here’s one use though that caught my eye:

I saw a really cool way to use the Questionnaire activity in Moodle the other day. The school had scheduled a dance, so they got together a list of popular songs and had the students vote on which songs they wanted the DJ to play. This is a school where Moodle is relatively new. A hundred students went in and voted on the songs they wanted to hear.

Some would say “big deal.” And some would be correct – it is a big deal. Students got to go in, use technology, and have a say in their dance. And it makes Moodle something COOL. Students can see how Moodle can be used to give them a voice. So right away you’ve got positive attitudes about Moodle instead of negative attitudes. And as my Mom always used to say to me as a child, it’s all about your attitude.

There are many ways to use Moodle to give students a voice, and it’s very important that we do so as often as possible… even if the popular songs of the day aren’t on a standardized test.
