Question
- How do I create documents for students to take notes or complete assignments for my course?
- Why doesn't student information save when filling out my PDF?
- Can I add a writable PDF to my course?
- My PDF form doesn't save
Solution
If you would like to include a writable PDF in your course, we recommend adding it to a Downloads lesson for students to complete outside of Thinkific.
This is because, with writable PDFs, we don't currently have any way of saving the data when viewed in a PDF lesson in the Course Builder. This means students will still need to download the PDF and complete it outside of Thinkific.
If you are looking for additional options for students to answer questions, also check out our Survey Lesson type. This is great if your students don't need to keep their own copy of their answers.
If you would prefer your students to have a copy of their answers, you can also consider creating a Google Form that can be added to a Multimedia Lesson type. A form like this is very flexible in question type and you can set it up to email the student their results after completion!
