Qualtrics LTI
Are you looking for an alternative to New Quizzes in Canvas LMS?
Canvas-users heavily rely on New Quizzes, an enhanced quizzing engine offering dynamic item banks, elaborate quiz moderation options, robust reporting, and more opportunities for personalized learning.
While Canvas recently introduced basic graded and ungraded surveys to New Quizzes opening up a new range of possibilities, institutional research and professional course evaluations usually require a more robust solution.
Qualtrics LTI brings Qualtrics surveys inside Canvas LMS and has three notable advantages over Canvas’ native New Quizzes engine. It allows for fully anonymous surveys, supports advanced dashboarding & reporting and drastically improves administrative efficiency using Bulk Distributions.
What is Qualtrics LTI?
Qualtrics LTI by Drieam is a plug-in (LTI app) for Canvas LMS. Using Qualtrics LTI, institutional research professionals, department admins, and faculty members can embed their Qualtrics surveys in Canvas LMS.
With Qualtrics LTI, Qualtrics surveys take place within the trusted environment that Canvas LMS offers, benefiting users with both barrier-free visual integration and a seamless functional connection.
Note: to be able to use Qualtrics LTI, your institution needs to have a license for Qualtrics.
Why is Qualtrics LTI a viable alternative to Canvas’ New Quizzes?
A Frictionless Survey Experience for Both Students and Administrators
For Students: Surveys remain an integral part of their learning experience because students don’t have to leave Canvas to complete them.
For Administrators: SIS data (like student names, course codes, and enrollment terms) can be embedded into the surveys, eliminating manual entry and data mismatches and creating a seamless data flow. Grading remains highly efficient because responses are available directly in the Canvas SpeedGrader.
How is Georgia Institute of Technology able to keep using (anonymous) surveys despite moving to Canvas New Quizzes?
Georgia Institute of Technology is a public R1 research university located in Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia Tech accounts for more than 45,000 students spread over its main campus in Atlanta, campuses in France and China, and its online and distance learning programs.
Challenge: Keeping surveys as an integral part of Georgia Tech courses, while adopting the new and improved New Quizzes engine
Faculty at Georgia Tech used to leverage survey functionality of Classic Quizzes in Canvas to distribute research surveys within their LMS. With Canvas LMS announcing the transition from Classic Quizzes to New Quizzes, the Georgia Institute of Technology started preparing for the implementation of New Quizzes in Canvas. An important part of this implementation plan was finding an alternative for users within faculties who would like to transition to New Quizzes but maintain using surveys.
They used the transition to New Quizzes as an opportunity to implement a more robust, centralized, and efficient survey engine to handle their 45,000+ student population using Qualtrics LTI.

“Since the Qualtrics surveys are in Canvas LMS, it is the easiest thing for students. They don’t have to go to a third place to take the surveys. This way their learning experience never changes. Qualtrics surveys in Canvas LMS make surveys seem like part of the module assignments that students have to complete. Taking surveys becomes part of students’ coursework”
– Pankaj Bedekar, Director of Information Systems,
California State University, Northridge
“Student data such as names, course codes and SIS ID, email, and student enrollment term flows from the student information system into Canvas LMS and then into Qualtrics surveys. This process is completely seamless, and we don’t have a mismatch or wrong information being manually entered. We are ensured that we receive really accurate data.”
