Qualtrics

Qualtrics is a cloud-based platform for creating and distributing web-based surveys. If you want to distribute a one-time survey, or surveys that don’t need to be tracked as part of a large, multi-survey project, Qualtrics is the tool to use.

Why use Qualtrics?

• Widely used for academic research and market research.
• Large array of question types, including “basic” types (multiple choice, text, sliders) and specific types (heat maps, constant sums, timers, file attachments).
• Highly customizable survey appearance.
• Multiple sharing settings make it easy to collaborate with colleagues on surveys.
• Advanced conditional logic tools allow for complex experimental designs and user-tailored survey paths.
• Ability to translate a survey to multiple languages.
• Ability to add scoring to a survey; can be used to create quizzes for courses or compute subscale scores on psychometric questionnaires.
• Built-in email distribution capabilities; can send reminder emails to non-responders and thank-you emails to responders.
• Ability to export data as an SPSS data file (*.sav), comma-delimited file (*.csv), text file (*.txt), HTML, or XML.

Qualtrics is available to all UMKC faculty, staff, and students. To access Qualtrics, go to https://umkc.qualtrics.com and log in with your UMKC credentials.

REDCap

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This is the support page for non-research REDCap projects.

If your project is for any of the following purposes, use the REDCap installation managed by the Center for Health Insights (CHI) .

• Human subjects or biomedical research
• Psychological or behavioral research
• Any project that has, or is seeking IRB approvals and publication.

The CHI offers templates for grant proposals, IRB submissions and a schedule of REDCap training events that are available for all REDCap projects, including those that do not involve the above research types.

What is REDCap?

REDCap is a secure, web-based application for building and managing online surveys and databases. Using REDCap’s stream-lined process for rapidly developing projects, you may create and design projects using 1) the online method from your web browser using the Online Designer; and/or 2) the offline method by constructing a ‘data dictionary’ template file in Microsoft Excel, which can be later uploaded into REDCap. Both surveys and databases (or a mixture of the two) can be built using these methods.

REDCap provides automated export procedures for seamless data downloads to Excel and common statistical packages (SPSS, SAS, Stata, R), as well as a built-in project calendar, a scheduling module, ad hoc reporting tools, and advanced features, such as branching logic, file uploading, and calculated fields.

Non-Research REDCap Login Portal
