After you log in, the screen should look similar to the one below: Click on the following link to learn about the default “My Surveys” tab. http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/mysurveytab. html After watching the video, proceed to the next slide.

The following link will describe how to start creating a survey: http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/createsurvey. html After watching the video, create a survey with this information. (Your name) Click on the following link to learn about the “Edit Survey” tab, which will be displayed once the survey is created. http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/editsurveytab. html After watching the video, proceed to the next slide.

Click on the following link to learn the basics regarding different possible question types: http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/questiontypes. html We will first create a multiple choice question for our survey. Watch this video that describes the basics about Multiple Choice Questions. http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/multiplechoice. html Now we can start creating our first question. In the Qualtrics window, click on “Create a New Question. ”

See if you can create this question. It forces the survey-taker to answer the question before proceeding. It also features the option to enter text for the “Other” choice. See if you can figure out how to implement this feature. (If you can’t, that’s OK. The procedure is described on the next slide. )

Multiple Choice Question Type Click on the blue dropdown arrow beside the choice and choose “Allow Text Entry” This icon signifies that this question requires a response. To force the survey-taker to answer the question, choose “Force Response” This button allows you to view the question as it would appear to the survey taker. This was used to generate the image in the previous slide.

Now we will create a Likert Response question. In Qualtrics, we will use a Matrix Table question. Click on the following link to learn about this question type. http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/matrixtable. html Now try to create the question below. (Be sure to select the option to force a response)

Assistance for the Matrix Table question type: Matrix Table Question Type Three Statements Five Scale Points Automatic Scale Points have predefined choices

Our last question will be a comment box that allows text entry. There is no specific video for this question type, so do your best to try to figure it out on your own. (Again, assistance is on the following slide if you need it. )

Assistance with the Text Entry question type: Text Type affects the size of this text box. Text Entry Question Type

To conclude our survey, we will provide some general information and useful links to a few informative websites. To do this, we will use the Text/Graphic question type. (It is called a question type although it’s not actually a question. ) Please learn about the Rich Text Editor by watching this video. http: //www. qualtrics. com/tutorials/richtexteditor. html Now try to recreate the Text field below. (Don’t worry about the specific website links)

You can change the font size and colors by clicking on the Rich Text Editor Tab.

Now would be a good time to preview the survey, although this may be done at any time. If you want assistance with another aspect of Qualtrics, you can check the “Help and Tutorials” section. Clicking this button will preview the entire survey in a new window.
