Qualtrics
Gather information quickly and easily from employees, members, or customers using our online survey software, Qualtrics. Our online surveys make it easy for you to collect data from a small or large group of people. Participants complete the survey electronically on their own time and demographics are easily identified through generated reports. Our versatile features allow you to direct participants to answer only applicable questions and to prompt participants if a question is skipped or answered incorrectly. The results are instantly added to group data and reports are generated automatically to include a wide range of statistics, charts, and graphs that can be customized. Data can also be exported for further analysis based on your needs.
Access to these services is FREE to NDSU faculty, staff, and students and competitively priced for area businesses and organizations.
