Qualtrics integration

[profmikegreene]

I am an instructor trying to use Qualtrics in my kit by sharing a survey library with members of my learning community.

How might we (the Kits project team) integrate with the Qualtrics application in this way?

Questions

• [x] What are the goals of the integration?
  1. create a qualtrics group with the name of the community
  2. add members to the qualtrics group
  3. create a survey library with the members of the qualtrics group
  4. copy an exam example survey from a global survey library
  5. kits course card links to the survey library for the group
• [x] How do we map roles? #189
• [x] [Can the Qualtrics API accomplish the goals of the integration?] (https://github.com/DukeLearningInnovation/kits/issues/198#issuecomment-404658499)

1. create a qualtrics group with the name of the community
2. add members to the qualtrics group
3. create a survey library with the members of the qualtrics group
4. copy a test survey from a global survey library
5. link to the survey library for the group

@chrislorch what do you think?

Qualtrics reps told us they are working on LTI due later this year, which would probably change the direction we recommend this going as that would be a better workflow for creating/managing groups that above. But, until we see it in action, it's hard to know if it will, in fact, be better.

This integration definitely feels different than others to me due to the nature of Qualtrics. If others think we should take it in a different direction, I'd be interested to hear it.

Needs user testing to verify our assumptions of a useful Qualtrics integration are accurate before continuing.

From Tra Tran about how a Qualtrics integration in Kits would be helpful: "streamline all the projects into one place".

Regarding roles, I don't see those when I add a person to a survey or project. I only see a list of permissions. Other than the lack of roles, my hypothesis is that this integration would look very similar to the GitLab integration where we create a group and possibly a survey library under that group. I need to talk with folks who have requested this integration to better understand the needs. Scheduling interviews this week.

Role mapping and Qualtrics permissions hypothesis:

Instructor/Owner = All Assistant/Editor = All Student/Viewer = View Reports (and Copy?) Visitor/Visitor = View Reports (and/or Copy?)

Need to validate with Qualtrics users who have requested this integration.

I don't see a way forward here unless we have more options with the API. I see no functionality in Qualtrics that allow bulk sharing - not at the folder level or even when you copy a survey.

I'm not seeing anything about adding collaborators to folders with permissions in here but let me know if I'm wrong. The goal of the integration would be to create a library or folder for a group that could easily access a set of projects without adding collaborators and permissions one-by-one for each survey. My assumption is that Qualtrics imposes this restriction intentionally to prevent accidentally sharing survey data that is protected.
