Draft:Workshops/Analyzing Qualtrics Survey Data
Session Information
- Level - Intermediate, Conducting Survey Research Using Qualtrics workshop required
- Intended Audience - Designed for staff interested in learning more about analyzing data and and reporting results from Qualtrics surveys using built-in features and functions as well and other tools, such as Excel and SPSS.
- Time - 50 minutes
Before the Session
This session is hands-on, so please bring your laptop if possible. If you cannot bring a laptop, one will be provided for you. Participants should be familiar with all of the material covered in the Conducting Survey Research Using Qualtrics.
General Description
Although Qualtrics is primarily designed to support online survey distribution and does not have full-featured statistical analysis capabilities, it does include some powerful features for summarizing, visualizing, and reporting survey results. These built-in features may be all you need to get the job done or you can easily export survey data into other tools (e.g., SPSS) for further analysis. Online reports, both public and private, can be generated while surveys are live to monitor incoming data. Custom tables and reports can be constructed to meet specific reporting needs. This intermediate-level workshop covers all aspects of Qualtrics reporting and demonstrates how survey data can be exported to other, full-fledged statistical analysis tools. A review of descriptive statistics and good practices in data visualization are included.
