This course will be offered ONLINE. It will not be recorded as there are in-class activities. This is a 4 hour course.

Qualtrics is a powerful browser-based web-survey tool. 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 some of the most common question types, programming display and skip logic, an introduction to “survey flow”, distributing surveys with an anonymous link vs survey mailer, creating and uploading contact lists, project collaboration and creating groups, adding content to Libraries, and downloading data.

This is an introductory course and will not cover use of the online analysis tools within Qualtrics. Please note, this is a hands-on course and will be hybrid. All participants are required to create a Qualtrics account before the course and should bring their laptop to the course. UNC faculty, staff and students may create their free Qualtrics account here to access full features: www.qualtrics.unc.edu. Non-UNC affiliated participants can create a free trial account here: https://www.qualtrics.com/

This course will count as 4.0 CSS short course credit hours.
