Evaluation results show what participants answered in an evaluation. Use them to understand reactions, compare patterns, and decide what needs to happen after the learning journey.
Evaluations can be part of a learning journey or stand alone, depending on how your organization uses Knowly.
Evaluation answers are anonymous
Evaluation responses are saved without a link to the participant who submitted them. There's no setting to make an evaluation non-anonymous — it's how the activity type works. You'll see what people answered, but not who said what.
If you need to know which participant gave which answer, use a micro training or knowledge test instead. Those activity types attribute each response to the participant who submitted it.
Open the evaluation results
Open the evaluation and go to its results. The results view shows answers and summaries for the questions in that evaluation.
Start with the summary to understand the overall pattern. Then open individual questions or answers when you need more detail.
Read quantitative and written answers together
Numbers can show the direction, but written answers often explain why participants answered that way.
When you review results, look at:
rating or scale questions for broad patterns
multiple choice answers for common choices
written answers for examples, blockers, and suggestions
response count so you know how much weight to give the pattern
If only a small number of participants answered, treat the result as a signal to explore rather than a final conclusion.
Decide what to share
Before you share evaluation results, decide who needs which level of detail. Some stakeholders only need a short summary. Others may need the full set of answers or a public online report.
If you want to share selected evaluation results through a link, use an online report. If you need raw data for analysis, use an engagement report or export instead.
Keep participant context in mind
Even though answers are anonymous, evaluation results can still include sensitive comments about work, managers, teams, or a learning experience. Share only what is useful for the follow-up work, and avoid spreading comments more broadly than needed when they could be guessed back to a specific person.
