XBlock to ease linking to Qualtrics surveys.
The tool makes it easy for instructors to link to a Qualtrics survey from within their course.
To install the XBlock on your platform, add the following to your requirements.txt file:
xblock-qualtrics-survey
You'll also need to add this to your INSTALLED_APPS:
qualtricssurvey
To install the XBlock in your course, access your Advanced Module List:
Settings -> Advanced Settings -> Advanced Module List
and add the following:
qualtricssurvey
To add a Qualtrics Survey link to your course:
- go to a unit in Studio
- select "Qualtrics Survey" from the Advanced Components menu
You can now edit and preview the new component.
Using the Studio editor, you can edit the following fields:
- display name
- survey id
- university
- link text
- message
- parameter name for userid
Note: If you plan to make use of the "Param Name" field to store User ID data, you will need to configure your Qualtrics surveys to in turn collect that data on Qualtrics’ end.
Students click on a link within the unit and this takes them to the survey.
