Embedding a Google form into your Moodle content.


First create your form.
Navigate to your Google Drive from your Moodle browser bar.

Then press CREATE in your Google Drive and scroll down to FORM.



This will take you directly to the form design chooser. Click on any format you require.
This will present you with your theme choice. If it's not here, then click on Theme in the menu.


Here you can play around with various options and create your questionnaire, survey or feedback. 
You can add as many questions and these questions can be in a variety of formats.
You decide whether the questions are compulsory or whether the respondant can edit the response.

It's worth having a practice at each type of question so when the form is completed you will have a reminder of what the questions look like.

There are a few options to play around with 


and you can add, via the menu bar, video or images into your forms. There's page breaks and headers too. All good for making engaging and creative forms.



Once your form is created click the SEND FORM button in the top right hand corner

Which will pop up this window

And you need to click on the EMBED button which will give you this window

Please note that I always change the width to a max of 400px for embedding in the Moodle central column as the default size is a little large. You may like to rearrange to suit your Learning Platform.
Then click and select and copy the HTML in the bar/window.

Go back to your Moodle page where you wish the form to display.

Check that your are logged in and that editing is turned on.
Then click on add an activity or resource

and select the LABEL resource


Once you have added that you will see this box

You will need to toggle the tool bar button to see the full range of tools

It looks like this

then you select the HTML button which looks like this

and you can PASTE your FORM's HTML in the window that pops up.

then click Embed.


Then SAVE AND RETURN TO COURSE.
If you can't see your form don't panic, if you click editing off it will appear.
Then when your form is submitted you will see the responses as a SPREADSHEET in your Google Drive or if you click on the form itself and go to the menu bar>responses>summary of responses you get a nice page of info graphics.

You can choose to publish this data and whether the respondents see the submissions.

I hope this is useful.

I welcome any feedback or developments that you might discover yourselves.
