Qualtrics Replacing Checkbox

by | Sep 16, 2015 | Faculty

Over the summer, ITS and the FacTS Center brought to campus Qualtrics, a new advanced online survey application.

The old online survey tool, Checkbox, will no longer be available after Wednesday, September 30. Checkbox users need to export and archive their Checkbox data, including surveys, responses and reports to another location by that time. This data will not be retrievable once Checkbox is removed.

You can access Qualtrics by going to my.canisius.edu, where in “All Applications and Services” you will find the Qualtrics icon. The FacTS Center will run workshops during the fall to help users get acquainted with Qualtrics. For users with long surveys, a conversion process is available that can move question text from Checkbox to Qualtrics. For links to text and video tutorials and our workshop signup sheet, go to canisius.edu/surveys.

Please contact Mark Gallimore at Ext. 8353 with questions or further information.
