Qualtrics allows UT faculty and staff to create complex surveys needed for research. The tool builds, distributes and analyzes surveys inside a secure portal.

General Information

What is Qualtrics? Qualtrics is a powerful online survey tool available to all UT faculty, staff and students that can be used for any UT-related research and projects. Use of the system is limited to UT research and projects only and should not be used for non-UT purposes. With Qualtrics, faculty and staff can build and distribute complex surveys using more than 100 question types, embedded data, branching, display logic, quotas, email triggers, mobile and offline compatibility, randomization and various other advanced features. In addition, surveys can be shared with peers and analyzed quickly. Before conducting research or surveys in Spartan Studies courses, all faculty, staff or students wishing to use Qualtrics (or any other survey tool) must first submit a Request for Research Participation form to the Center for Teaching and Learning Office and receive approval.
