The course is comprised of five mandatory live training sessions, that are each 1 hour long and an additional 3-5 hours of learning in the form of e-lessons and a project based assessment.
The first session introduces Qualtrics and focuses on creating surveys and questions and setting appropriate question options.
The second session explores the different question types available in Qualtrics. It looks at how to configure Skip Logic, which can be used to specify the path respondents take through a survey depending on their answers.
The third session suggests a survey design process you may wish to adopt when designing your surveys. The Survey Options and Look & Feel settings are explored. How to collaborate or share the survey with colleagues is also covered.
The fourth session looks at Display Logic and how to pipe text from one question to another. Distribution options , such as anonymous links, QR codes and social media are explored.
The fifth session starts by explaining how to view individual responses and how to export responses via the Data & Analysis screen. The reporting functionality - used to aggregate and visualise data - is then covered.
The final component of the course is a practical assessment. You will design a survey using Qualtrics that demonstrates good survey methodology. The survey can be a "real-life" survey that you need to create for your research or job, or it can be one that is of interest to you.
Estimated amount of learning time:
-
Teaching sessions: 5 hours
-
E-learning: 1 hour
-
Practical project assessment: 2 - 4 hours
For a total of between 8 - 10 hours.
Digital Badge Certification
Successful completion of the full course leads to the
Online Survey Designer - Foundation digital badge and certificate.
The digital badge is issued by Cardiff Metropolitan University through the Credly platform.
To complete the course and gain the digital badge, learners are required to complete the live training and pass a practical project assessment.
Earners of this badge are able to apply basic principles of good survey design to create online surveys that capture data effectively. Using Qualtrics survey software they have proven that they are able to: create a range of survey questions, utilise survey logic to adjust survey flow and customise the aesthetics of a survey. They are familiar with the survey design process and are to apply best practice principles when designing a questionnaire.
