Ask seven questions about viewing purpose, pace, obstacles and usefulness, including people who did not finish. ## Use feedback for a specific decision A short viewing session can mean a viewer found the answer quickly, lost interest or could not follow the explanation. This SurveyLegend example asks what happened during one named video so producers can choose a more specific improvement than simply making everything shorter. ## Review one video, not an entire course Use this survey just after a viewing attempt, or within seven days. Invite partial viewers as well as finishers. For feedback on the organization of an entire learning module, use the [digital learning experience ](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/education-school-teacher-surveys/digital-learning-experience-template/)survey instead. Guo, Kim and Rubin’s 2014 analysis covered 6.9 million viewing sessions across four edX courses and distinguished engagement with lectures and tutorials. Their [video engagement study ](https://pure.kaist.ac.kr/en/publications/how-video-production-affects-student-engagement-an-empirical-stud/)informs the decision to ask viewing purpose alongside extent watched. Its engagement measures are not proof of learning, and its course setting does not establish a universal ideal length for every video. These are original feedback questions, not a validated assessment. **Create your online video viewing survey in SurveyLegend** A short viewing session can mean a viewer found the answer quickly, lost interest or could not follow the explanation. This SurveyLegend example asks what happened during one named video so producers can choose a more specific improvement than simply making everything shorter. ## Seven questions to adapt Answer about the online explainer or tutorial named by the organizer, viewed or attempted within the past seven days. You can respond even if you did not finish. Every question is optional. Please leave out personal information and private links. Try the survey ## A little feedback. A clearer picture.

You’ve tried the template from the respondent’s side. Make it your own with SurveyLegend. [Create your own survey](https://www.surveylegend.com/register/) Checking submission availability… This is a demo. We count starts and submissions only. Your answers stay in your browser and are never sent or saved. **—**Starts **—**Submissions Activity is temporarily unavailable. ## Customize your online video viewing survey Provide the exact title and version of one explainer or tutorial. Everyone should evaluate the same version; do not pool answers about different edits. Make the reference available in an accessible way, including appropriate captions or a transcript, without requiring respondents to disclose a disability. SurveyLegend’s [video-based surveys ](https://www.surveylegend.com/video/video-based-survey-form-poll-made-easy/)article discusses using a shared video reference. This example asks about a recent viewing attempt; it does not track playback or force a watch-through. If a viewer cannot access the video, keep that response visible rather than excluding it from the report. ## Printable online video viewing questionnaire Use the blank paper questionnaire after a facilitated viewing session or when a participant prefers to write feedback. Name the video version on the invitation and explain where to return the form. Paper responses require separate review or manual entry and are not automatically added to online results. ![First page of the printable Online Video Viewing Survey Template with questions and answer spaces](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/pdf-previews/online-video-viewing-template-pdf-preview.avif) [![](https://www.surveylegend.com/user-guide-media/icons/download-pdf.svg) Download online video viewing survey PDF](https://www.surveylegend.com/downloads/survey-templates/online-video-viewing-survey-template.pdf) Export online video viewing questionnaire as PDF ## Create your online video viewing survey in SurveyLegend Copy this prompt into an AI assistant to draft the questions.

Someone seeking one answer may reasonably watch selected parts. “None” plus a playback obstacle should lead to an access check, not a conclusion about the content’s quality. Look at pace, the main obstacle and usefulness separately. If the pace is too fast, comments may identify a demonstration needing a pause or clearer labels; if viewers report missing information, shortening the video may not help. The obstacle item asks for one main problem and cannot estimate every problem experienced. Report item-level answer counts and skipped questions, and keep “I could not judge” separate. Confirm any proposed edit against the actual video. Use appropriate tests—not satisfaction or completion alone—to assess learning. ## Frequently asked questions ### Should people who stopped watching answer? Yes. Their viewing purpose and main obstacle can explain why a completion-only report would be incomplete. Keep their answers distinct from those of viewers who finished. ### Does this survey track watch time? No. It collects self-reported viewing experience. The template demo’s start and submission counts are not video analytics. ### Can it prove viewers learned the material? No. Usefulness and reported viewing extent are feedback, not a knowledge or skill assessment. Evaluate learning separately when that is the decision. Media & Entertainment Survey Templates 1.

[![Preview of the Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template showing its first question and answer choices](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-template-media/previews/celebrity-endorsements-template-preview.avif) Celebrity Endorsements Survey Template Media & entertainment Show one neutral concept card to the intended adult audience. In the demo, imagine a fictional well-known performer promoting a reusable bottle; it is not an actual endorsement. Ask how familiar respondents are with the spokesperson, whether the pairing makes sense, what it says about the brand, and what worries them. A response is feedback on this concept, not evidence that anyone has signed a deal or would buy the product. Kamins and Gupta's 1994 experiment varied spokesperson type and product–spokesperson congruence. Its abstract reports more favorable believability and product attitudes under greater congruence; the authors describe the question as “the fit or congruence between image type and the product advertised.” Read the study abstract. That controlled design is not a validation of this seven-question SurveyLegend example, and its effects should not be treated as a forecast for a current campaign.](https://www.surveylegend.com/survey-examples-templates/media-entertainment-surveys/celebrity-endorsements-template/) 4.
