Lots of research involves online surveys, and so lots of U-M UROP students need to be exposed to Qualtrics. The U-M Library offers Qualtrics workshops, but when it comes to UROP the demand sometimes outpaces our capacity.
If you learn best in-person, you may find an upcoming "Open" session about Qualtrics listed at the U-M TeachTech website. If you cannot find an upcoming in-person session, you can contact scholarspace@umich.edu and request a consultation.
All that aside...
If you are good at learning via YouTube, we invite you to this self-guided "Qualtrics 4 UROP" module, which begins below.
The online module combines two well-developed training videos from other R1 institutions: Middle Tennessee State and San Diego State, and references important accessibility resources from the University of Colorado and Michigan State.
Additionally, the online module covers specific recommendations for working within our unique University of Michigan Qualtrics environment.
