How to use this list
- Pick 4–6, not 20. Mix a couple of quick taps with one or two open questions.
- Make it anonymous — the honest answers only show up without a name attached.
- Ask in the room, in the last five minutes — not a week later, when response rates collapse.

Run them as a live, anonymous poll
These questions only work if people answer honestly — which means anonymous, and in the moment. You can do that with paper and a box. Or you can let AI do the setup: with TapInFlow, type your workshop topic and the AI drafts these kinds of questions for you. Participants scan a QR code and answer from their phones — no app, no sign-up — and when the session ends you get an AI insight report with the themes, sentiment, and suggested follow-ups already pulled out. It's what the facilitators we work with use to close a session.
Frequently asked
How many feedback questions should I ask after a workshop?
Four to six is the sweet spot. Mix a couple of quick taps (single-choice or a 1–5 rating) with one or two open questions. Long forms get abandoned, and people answer the last questions carelessly — short and specific beats long and thorough.
Should workshop feedback be anonymous?
Yes. The honest answers — what was confusing, what dragged, what they won't actually use — only show up when there's no name attached. Anonymous responses in the room consistently beat signed surveys sent later.
When should I collect workshop feedback — during or right after?
Before people leave the room. Response rates collapse once the session ends and inboxes take over; a poll on their phones in the last five minutes gets near-total participation while the experience is fresh.
Can AI write workshop feedback questions for me?
Yes. Give the AI your workshop topic and it drafts a balanced set across single-choice, rating, open-text and word-cloud formats. You edit the wording, then run them live — that's exactly what TapInFlow does.
