Qualtrics
Qualtrics is a powerful tool for faculty research, offering a range of features that make it easier to design, distribute, and analyze surveys.
Qualtrics Features
- Survey Design: Faculty can create detailed surveys with over 100 question types, including multiple-choice, text entry, and interactive questions. This flexibility allows researchers to tailor surveys to their specific needs.
- Data Collection: Qualtrics supports robust data collection methods, including anonymous responses and secure data storage. It also allows for automated reminders to increase response rates.
- Data Analysis: The platform provides advanced analytics tools, including real-time data visualization, AI-powered text analysis, and integration with other software like SPSS and Excel. This helps researchers quickly interpret data and generate insights.
- Collaboration: Faculty can collaborate on surveys with colleagues, sharing access and editing rights. This is particularly useful for multi-institutional studies or collaborative research projects.
- Compliance and Security: Qualtrics ensures data security and compliance with regulations like FERPA, making it a trusted platform for academic research. Qualtrics also meets HIPAA compliance with their security certifications. However, Qualtrics serves as the repository while Adelphi University is considered the data controller. For full HIPAA compliance on surveys, you should review your requirements with the Institutional Review Board (IRB). Please review the IRB Manual.
