What to do in Qualtrics before using the Qualtrics LTI tool

Build the survey including survey instructions, questions, answers etc. and make sure to publish the survey by clicking on the Publish button on the survey page (A). Once published, Qualtrics LTI will recognize the survey.

What to do on Qualtrics survey overview page in Canvas

1. Log in to Canvas, click Account (A), and click Qualtrics LTI (B) in the user navigation.
   
2. Click on the Add survey (C) button.
   
   
3. You will see two buttons on the pop-up window: Standard Canvas assignment (D) and In-class survey (QR code) (E). In-class surveys can be used during lectures where the teacher will provide a QR code for the students. Via scanning the QR code, students fill out the survey. Like standard Qualtrics LTI surveys, the in-class survey type can be added to any Canvas assignment. More information on what and how to create in-class surveys can be found on How to use in-class surveys guide. Click on the Standard Canvas assignment (D).
   
4. You will see all your published Qualtrics surveys in the pop-up window. Check the checkbox (F) next to the survey(s) you would like to add. Click Add Survey (G) to add it to your surveys.
   
5. When you open Survey Grading, you see two main categories:
   • With Canvas submission (H).
     
     This means Qualtrics will send a grade to the Canvas Gradebook.
     • Grade not registered: Canvas will record the Qualtrics survey as submitted, but it will not assign any points or send a grade to the gradebook.
     • Grade is the assignment maximum score: Full points are awarded when a student completes the survey. No partial points are available.
     • Grade is the percentage of the Qualtrics score: Qualtrics will calculate a score based on scoring you set up inside Qualtrics questions. That percentage is applied to the assignment score in Canvas.
   • No Canvas submission (I)
     
     
     • Grade not registered: Canvas assignment stays ungraded and used for anonymous surveys. Qualtrics responses do NOT sync to Canvas gradebook.
6. Survey Response Type:
   
   • Response Type (J)
     • Allow multiple Qualtrics responses:
       • Students can submit the survey more than once.
       • Recommended for drafts, repeated practice surveys, or when students may need to correct mistakes.
     • Limit to 1 Qualtrics response:
       • Students can submit the survey only once.
       • Recommended for formal surveys, course evaluations, or graded assignments.
     • Allow update to Qualtrics response:
       • Students can edit or update their previous submission in Qualtrics.
       • Recommended if you want the students to revise their answers up to the due date.
   • Survey Response Settings (K)
     • Allow response after assignment due date: If this is checked, students can still submit the Qualtrics survey even after Canvas assignment due date passes.
     • Show Qualtrics response in Canvas SpeedGrader (recommended):
       • If checked, the instructor can see the student's full survey answers inside SpeedGrader.
       • Makes grading easier because you don’t have to open Qualtrics separately.
     • Show Qualtrics response to student: Students can view a copy of their responses they submitted inside canvas.
   
   Click Save (L) to confirm the settings.
   
   Note: The default Qualtrics–Canvas settings give full credit automatically upon survey completion, regardless of answers given. Multiple and late responses are allowed, while survey responses are not shown in SpeedGrader or to students through Canvas. Please feel free to change the settings according to your requirements for each survey imported.
