Re-introducing Microsoft Forms

About a year ago I wrote a post outlining the Microsoft Forms functionality which at the time was available only to educational tenants (EDU license).

This time around Microsoft has decided to launch a preview of the same functionality to enterprise tenants as well – and about time as it’s a nice little application indeed.

So what is Microsoft Forms? It’s an application to create simple forms, surveys and quiz's. It’s not a replacement for InfoPath, it’s not a replacement for PowerApps, but it sits somewhere in-between, and is really easy to use.

Introducing Microsoft Forms*

June 20th, 2016 Microsoft announced the preview of Microsoft Forms, a new formative assessment and survey tool in Office 365. The caveat is that it’s targeted to Educational licenses only. This means Enterprise customers can not use this at the moment, but as the announcement says, Microsoft is exploring the possibilities for it but with no time line.

You can find it at https://forms.office.com if you have an EDU license.

Let’s not dwell on license issue and see what Microsoft forms all about? The product today is an answer to educators to have a quizzing function inside of Office 365 – not a replacement for InfoPath if that is what you are looking for.
