@JakeW and @MichelleC , What have you found to be the most effective way of distributing the reports to instructors/faculty? I am working on something similar where I need to distribute reports to faculty 7 days after the survey starts. I would really like to automate the process but I haven't figured out how to yet. I can use the actions tab to trigger the sending of the report 7 days after the first complete, but then it keeps sending 7 days after every complete so that isn't ideal. Thanks in advance! David

@uhrxx005 the pilot we have running is creating manually created reports and sending them out when the survey period has ended. Nothing automated, unfortunately. It also looks like we won't be using Qualtrics for any replacement. Our school is too big and (the real problem) has too many diverse players within the colleges/departments who want to customize their unit's evals for it to be able to work based on what we've seen. :'( :s I wonder if setting up a report to publish publicly (albeit with an Access Code protection) would work out of the Reports panel. Yes, these would be on-going reports, but I wonder if they _stop_ publishing when the survey is closed? As in, closing the survey would terminate any on-going report production?

I've recently joined Online Trading Academy, heading the insights group. We've recently implemented Qualtrics. I'm in the process of unifying our student journey. We have a legacy process that was capturing post class surveys in BlackBoard classic. The team was using a link to WuFoo (ugh!). Apparently, Blackboard classic had native survey functionality, which according to our ed. team is not available in Blackboard Ultra. Has anyone experienced this? Ultimately, my goal is to tie all class survey data to individual studentIDs in our database.

Thanks to an incredibly helpful implementation team at Qualtrics, we were able to do a pilot evaluation over the summer, iron out the kinks, and do a full launch for Fall 2017. > Our Institutional Assessment and Research office handles the administration of the course evaluations. Each semester I look at the calendar of courses and schedule anywhere from 4-8 "phases" for course evaluations (based on the end date of the class). I upload a new contact list for each phase and send out automated emails to the students on day 1, day 4, day 7, and day 8 (final day). We also post announcements on Blackboard, Canvas, and Twitter. Students click the course-specific link in their email and use SSO to access the questions for that class. We have quite a few team-taught courses, so the survey is built out to accommodate up to 11 instructors per course. How do you have your survey set up to accommodate for multiple instructors, each having their own access to individual open responses and results?

To limit the data they see, we pre-filter the CX dashboards using the faculty member's ID number (it's in the embedded data).

Hi, for those still curious about Q Classroom, here is a 15min demo of how it is used to administer a batch of course evals at the end of the semester: https://youtu.be/mSLSQy1OZx4
