Student Technology Survey Template
This student technology survey template checks learners’ practical access to devices, internet, and the named learning platform. Use the answers to identify equipment or access support they need before assigning digital study tasks.
Use this student technology survey template to understand whether learners can access the devices, internet connection, and software their study tasks require. It asks about practical availability rather than assuming ownership means reliable access. Create the questionnaire in SurveyLegend and offer a paper route before planning digital assignments.
When to use this student technology survey
Use it before a course starts or before changing the technology required for study. Tell learners which tasks and systems you mean. Do not distribute the survey only through the platform you are checking: that can miss students who cannot access it. This questionnaire gathers self-reported access and support needs, not a technical speed test or an assessment of a household’s finances.
For broader feedback after learners have experienced the course environment, use our student satisfaction template.

How to customize your student technology survey
Name the learning platform and any essential task, such as writing a document or joining a live session. Let students report that a device is shared, unavailable, or suitable only for some work. Avoid asking for home addresses, account credentials, or reasons for financial difficulty. Adapt for younger learners with the appropriate school process. If help is available, provide a separate clear way to request it; a general feedback response may not identify who needs follow-up. Before sharing widely, try the questions with a few people from the intended audience and clarify anything they interpret differently.
Printable student technology survey template
Use this printable student technology survey template in class before asking students to complete work online. It includes the same questions and space to write, giving people who prefer paper or are less comfortable online another way to take part. SurveyLegend helps you offer both formats. Tell respondents where to return the completed form and who will review it. Paper answers need a separate review or manual entry process; they are not automatically added to online responses.

Plan digital tasks around actual access
Separate device type from availability. A student may have access to a laptop only at limited times, or a phone that cannot support a required task. Review connectivity and platform-access answers together, then consider equipment access, offline alternatives, or practical guidance. Do not interpret a missed online response as proof that access is fine. Recheck needs after support arrangements change.
Frequently asked questions
Should I send this survey only online?
Offer another route, such as paper or a supported conversation. An online-only survey can miss the students whose access is most limited.
Does this measure internet speed?
No. It asks about connection reliability as experienced by the learner. A technical measurement requires a separate method.
Can I use answers to arrange equipment support?
You can use them to understand demand. If you need individual follow-up, explain that purpose and provide an appropriate way for students to request help.
