Many researchers, administrators and service providers use surveys to collect data. With the tools available to us, it is easy to create and distribute a survey. However, there are a number of important issues to consider when creating a survey. In this session we will use Qualtrics, our online survey software, to explore the fundamentals of survey creation.

We will explore:

• Developing a clear plan
• Resources to learn about Qualtrics
• How to create a basic Qualtrics survey
• Methodology tips for good survey design and common errors to avoid
• How to manage your survey results

Before you attend this workshop, you will need to create a Qualtrics account. To create an account please go to the Qualtrics Account Creation page. You will need to use your University of Guelph central login credentials (same as your U of G email username and password).
