Mason currently has a site license for Qualtrics, a research-grade software that is also easy-to-use. Students should be able to have their own accounts--contact the administrator for your department to determine what instructions you should give. For small classes, have the students add you as a collaborator. For large, recurring classes, you may want to request administrator permissions yourself.
See this page in two guides:
These are available to everybody.
| Software | What for | Tutorial |
|---|---|---|
| Qualtrics | Best for almost all projects, see Tab. | Support |
| RedCap | For more complex projects or those with special needs, may be better. See Tab. | Help & FAQ |
| Microsoft Forms | For brief surveys needing SSO authentication, this may be easiest. | Support |
If you have reviewed the information linked above and have questions about what software to use, contact the Digital Scholarship Center (DiSC) at datahelp@gmu.edu to get additional advice.
