Survey-Taking Help for Adults

Educators across the country are surveying their school communities to ensure that they can adequately support everyone during this time of transition. Below you'll find resources to support you in taking your Panorama surveys.

Learn how to take your survey

In this video, you'll learn how to take your survey and make sure that your voice is heard.

• Use the Read Aloud functionality for survey-taking. The Read Aloud feature is designed to enhance survey-taking accessibility by reading the survey questions out loud. All panorama content is supported by the read aloud functionality.  
  • In order to use this feature, survey takers must click the Turn on read-aloud button at the top of each survey. Once the feature is enabled, a speakerphone icon will appear for each survey question, answer choices, and headers and subheaders. 

  • 

Read Aloud is supported via most major browsers such as Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, etc. If a browser does not support read aloud, the icon will not appear. However, you can use the "text-to-speech" functionality in your web browser to read questions aloud. 

The Read Aloud feature is not available for demo or sample surveys. Once the survey administration window opens, the Read Aloud feature should automatically appear under the student's name.

All supported languages will have access to the read aloud function. If a survey respondent's language is not supported, the read aloud functionality will not appear.

We've tested this across browsers and languages, and found that the tool typically supports all of Panorama standard translated languages, depending on the settings of the individual users browser and operating system.
Here are two resources to add languages to their own browser:
Windows instructions
ChromeOS instructions
