The Qualtrics LTI is a powerful survey tool that is integrated into Yale's instance of Canvas. Qualtrics allows for faculty to create and share robust, responsive surveys to collect data and feedback from their students and other participants. This article will cover how to add a graded or ungraded survey created on Qualtrics to your Canvas course through the Qualtrics LTI.
Follow the instructions in the Qualtrics LTI: Connecting Your Canvas Account to the Qualtrics LTI if you have not already done so to make sure you have access to the Qualtrics LTI.
- In your Canvas course navigate to the "Assignments" section of your Course Navigation and select the "+ Assignment" button to create a new assignment.
- After providing a Title and Description to the Assignment item, scroll down to the "Submission Type" section and select "External Tool" from the drop down menu.
If you would like to configure your survey as an Ungraded Survey, configure your Canvas Assignment with these settings:
