What is Qualtrics?

Qualtrics is a tool used for creating and distributing surveys. It is particularly effective for gathering qualitative research. Qualtrics allows users to create surveys online, collaborate in real time, distribute surveys, analyze the results, and export data in multiple formats.

Advantages

Qualtrics skip and display logicSkip logic and display logic programming are available through Qualtrics. In other words, users can program their survey to change the line of questioning based on the responses.

Qualtrics runs advanced statistics to identify underlying trends in all forms of data.

Qualtrics can extrapolateQualtrics multiple choice question types data from social media and websites, extracting both general attitudes and hard data about online interactions.

Qualtrics has many, many options for question formats, and they are organized clearly with visual models so that users can easily see which format works best for their purposes.

Qualtrics is user-friendly and easy to adopt, but it is also very complex. Individuals can use Qualtrics to the level of complexity that they are comfortable with.

  • Give students a diagnostic quiz when they begin a course
  • Identify key factors of student engagement that improve their experiences in learning contexts, like assignment formats or assessment practices.
  • Give students a helpful tool with which to gather qualitative research for class projects.
