Survey Tools

SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics are the online data collection tool that are recommended by the IRB. SurveyMonkey offers a limited free version while Qualtrics is a fee-based service. Some departments on campus have a SurveyMonkey license and others have a Qualtrics license, both of which may be available to faculty and students. 

Please be sure to turn off IP tracking and enable SSL encryption when using an online survey tool. The consent form or disclosure should include a statement to this affect so participants know their data is secured.

Neither Google Forms or Facebook are secure methods of online data collection because confidentiality cannot be assured. We will NOT approve applications proposing to use these tools.
