Why is Qualtrics LTI the #1 Solution for Course Evaluations?

Course evaluation is a crucial process in education, offering a structured way to collect feedback from students about their learning experiences. Qualtrics LTI embeds surveys as assignments in Canvas LMS, making the survey process faster, more convenient, and an integral part of the student learning experience. Let’s look at the key benefits of using Qualtrics LTI that allow you to maximize your Course Evaluation efforts.

Boosting Course Evaluation Response Rates

As students take Qualtrics surveys in their Canvas environment instead of a separate website, this eliminates the hassle of sending surveys via email and increases the likelihood of students filling out the surveys. The surveys’ visibility within Canvas LMS contributes to higher engagement. Teachers and administrators can use Canvas LMS notifications and reminders to notify students of new surveys.

Improving Real-time Data Capture & Data Accuracy

Qualtrics’ customizable embedded data fields allow collecting Canvas LMS data such as names, course codes, and SIS ID’s. By using these data fields, it is no longer required to ask a student for their name, course or instructor, since this can all be automated using survey logic. This reduces human error and improves data accuracy, ultimately leading to more rigid decision making.

Providing Flexibility for Administrators to Manage Surveys

The LTI enables administrators and managers to schedule course evaluation surveys in advance, for individual courses or, but also department-wide or even institution-wide. Using the bulk distribution functionality, manual work is reduced and staff members can focus on improving the student experience.

Key Results Institutions Are Seeing From Using Qualtrics LTI For Their Course Eval

Boosted Response Rates With 177%

“In our first year, we realised a growth in our response rates of almost 180%. It’s not only able to make our own lives easier, but it also makes it easier for our students to actually find and fill out the surveys. There’s no loss of communication anywhere and because we have more data, it also becomes easier to intervene.”

– Adam Duell, Senior Learning Technologist at University of Sunderland

Dramatically Improved Data Quality

“We no longer rely on students remembering their SIS ID and manually entering that in surveys. Student data such as names, course-codes, SIS ID and e-mail flows from the SIS into Canvas LMS and then into Qualtrics surveys. This process is completely seamless and we are ensured that we receive really accurate data.”
