This course will be offered via Zoom only and will not be recorded. This is a 3 hour course. This course is only open to the UNC Chapel Hill community as you must have a UNC Qualtrics account to take this course.
Qualtrics is a powerful browser-based web-survey tool that the Odum Institute survey research team brought to campus in 2006. It is available to all UNC Chapel Hill faculty, staff, and students, for UNC-related projects. Qualtrics allows users to build complex surveys, distribute them, and analyze the responses all from one place. In this course, we will cover basic Qualtrics functions including creating multiple choice and text entry questions, programming display and skip logic, distributing surveys, creating and uploading contact lists, and sharing a survey. This is an introductory course and will not cover use of the online analysis tools within Qualtrics.
