Qualtrics

Brief description

Qualtrics is an online survey program that provides a safe, simple, but very rich environment for the creation of online questionnaires. It provides extensive options for creating various question types, randomizing questionnaire selection, processing multimedia in questionnaires and creating adaptive questions (where the questions a user is asked depend on his or her answers to previous questions).
