1. SURVEY DESIGN TIPS: Keep your survey as short as possible, use piped text to avoid asking duplicate questions, and use descriptive text questions rather than a progress bar to signal survey length.
2. RESPONSE RATE TIPS: Try the following to improve response rates for hard to reach populations: reminders, motivational incentives, stress the importance of the survey, optimize for mobile devise, personalize with piped text, keep it short and tight!
3. DISTRIBUTION TIPS: Want to embed your first question of the survey in your email?  You can create an “Inline Email Question” when sending your survey with the Qualtrics mailer!
4. REPORTING TIPS: NYU Users can now manually code and analyze text-based responses on the insight platform within Qualtrics. Visit GO TO DATA & ANALYSIS >>> TEXT.
5. DATA LIFE CYCLE TIPS: Consider pairing NYU SSO information on school/institutional type with NYU Qualtrics log-in permissions in order to assign NYU Qualtrics users to Divisions.

Emphasis on Enhancing Survey Design Skills for Administrators

NYU Qualtrics Training was a showcase of tools and special features introducing first-time users to a range of possibilities and bringing those already familiar with the web-based survey software up to a new level. Qualtrics Trainers Mick Swenson and Griffin Miller made it look effortless as they jettisoned from an introductory crash course, review of advanced features, and administrative/hr tools answering questions on the fly. A special thanks to Mick and Griffin for flying out from Provo, Utah, to spend the day with us! Here are some of the skills that we took away from the day and uses cases that we’ll be adding to our Qualtrics survey design tool-kit:

Review of the Core Advanced Features:

• Question randomization
• Embedded data
• Loop and merge

Reminder for less frequently used features:

• Generating test responses
• Scoring
• Emails triggers
• Web services
• Table of contents
• Conjoint analysis

Additional Resources

• Webinars for special use cases
• Qualtrics blog
• Coming soon: Statwing

NYU Qualtrics Community

With 109, administrators, staff, students, and faculty in attendance, the training day generated a wide diversity of new approaches and use cases. Here are some snapshots of who is using Qualtrics and how it is being used:
