Qualtrics is a web-based tool for creating and conducting surveys. Current Tufts students, faculty and staff can use Qualtrics to create and administer a survey. Surveys can be sent to and completed by anyone -- including non-Tufts affiliates.

While Qualtrics is most commonly used for research, it has a friendly interface, a variety of question types, and flexible reports, all of which make it a potential tool for teaching. Instructors can use Qualtrics to:

• Administer a pre-class survey to learn more about what students already know
• Ask students questions during class or immediately after a lecture
• Allow students to vote on or rank choices related to an assignment
• Create adaptive surveys that let students follow different branches depending on their answers
