Check the experience again
After trying the change, repeat “Which discussion helped a real task?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: useful questions disappear in a busy discussion feed. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
Read the answers carefully
Keep the conclusion within the evidence.
Popularity does not establish answer accuracy.

From question to next step
Make the feedback useful.
Set the decision
Start with the decision: Improve support in ongoing learning discussions.
Invite relevant voices
Invite people with relevant experience. Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which discussion helped a real task?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
Choose an action
Maintain a recurring unresolved-question summary.
A useful starting point
Questions to understand the actual experience.
Improve support in ongoing learning discussions. Use the prompts relevant to your audience and allow people to skip situations they did not encounter. Keep response handling consistent with what you explain in the invitation.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate.
Which discussion helped a real task?
Connect a discussion with the real task it helped a learner attempt. Preserve the relevant explanation and discovery route while checking answer accuracy independently.
What question lacked a response?
Unanswered discussion questions identify topics requiring a facilitator response or an appropriate source. Explain the actual support scope and route, without promising that every community question can receive an authoritative answer.
What facilitation would help?
Turn the requested improvement into a testable next step. One illustrative action is: maintain a recurring unresolved-question summary.
If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. Which discussion helped a real task? What question lacked a response? What facilitation would help?

Choose the response format
Make room for the explanation.
| Question | Suggested format | What to preserve |
|---|---|---|
| Which discussion helped a real task? | Optional short text | Retain the specific point or condition described; avoid replacing it with an unexplained rating. |
| What question lacked a response? | Optional written explanation | Keep context that distinguishes different experiences. Popularity does not establish answer accuracy. |
| What facilitation would help? | Optional improvement suggestion | Keep the suggested change separate from whether it has been tested. Maintain a recurring unresolved-question summary. |
Make questions optional where appropriate. If you add a rating scale, label its endpoints, keep one idea per question, and retain a follow-up for reasons. These examples are not a validated measurement instrument.
Before you send it
Check what your wording assumes.
Would you agree that everything about learning community facilitation was clear and easy?
Which discussion helped a real task?
The first wording combines an assumed positive outcome with two different judgments. The revised prompt asks about a specific experience and permits an inconvenient or uncertain answer.

Questions, answered.
Who should receive this questionnaire?
Learners and facilitators involved in the described activity. Ask only about steps each person encountered; do not treat a voluntary response sample as representative.
When should I ask these questions?
Ask after someone has encountered the situation described in “Which discussion helped a real task?”, while they can still recall the details. For material testing, show the actual draft first; for planning, ask before the next relevant activity.
What should I investigate in the answers?
Useful questions disappear in a busy discussion feed. This is an illustrative pattern to look for, not a claim about your respondents. Popularity does not establish answer accuracy.
What would a practical follow-up look like?
Maintain a recurring unresolved-question summary. After trying the change, repeat “Which discussion helped a real task?” with people who experienced it. Check whether they still describe the original issue: useful questions disappear in a busy discussion feed. Compare explanations and sample context, rather than claiming the change caused an improvement.
How should I ask “What question lacked a response?”?
Unanswered discussion questions identify topics requiring a facilitator response or an appropriate source. Explain the actual support scope and route, without promising that every community question can receive an authoritative answer. Use an optional written explanation when predefined choices would hide relevant context.
Can I use the questions in SurveyTeams?
