The first set of instructions explains how to take the distribution link from a Qualtrics survey and place it into a UICapture video. The second set of instructions explains how to customize the link. For example, if you place the same survey in multiple UICapture videos and want to trace which responses came from which videos.

Part One: Embedding a Survey into a UICapture Video

  1. Log in to uiowa.qualtrics.com and access the Distributions tab of your desired survey. Click Anonymous link within the navigation menu to the left of the screen and then click Copy this link.
  2. Log in to uicapture.hosted.panopto.com using your HawkID and password and then navigate to the folder containing the video you would like to use. Hover over the video and click on Edit to launch the video editor.
  3. Once in the video editor, select the place along the timeline at which you would like the survey to be presented to the viewers. The time selected will be indicated by a red line.
  4. After selecting the desired time, click the + (plus) button to the right of the scissor icon, and then click Add a webpage.
  5. Give the survey link a Title. This title will appear in the Table of Contents in the UICapture video. Paste the anonymous survey link into the Link field and then click Save.
  6. You must click Apply in the top right-hand corner of the UICapture editor to save changes and for your viewers to be able to access your survey.

Part Two: Passing information from a UICapture Video into a Qualtrics Survey

  1. Copy the anonymous survey link as outlined in Step 1 in the section above.
  2. Paste the link into a text editor, such as Notepad.
  3. Add a question mark (?), the desired Embedded Data field name (video, for example), an equal sign (=), and the value field (lecture1, for example) to the end of the URL. The URL should now look something like: https://survey.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_123456789?video=lecture1.
  4. Click on the Survey tab of your desired Qualtrics survey, navigate to the Survey Flow icon in the navigation menu, and then click on + Add a New Element Here.
  5. Select the element type Embedded Data and then type in the embedded data name chosen in your new URL (in this case video).
  6. After filling in the embedded data name field, use the Move button to carry the Embedded Data block to the top of the survey flow.
  7. Once the Embedded Data block has been moved, make sure to click Apply to save changes.
  8. After saving the survey, follow Steps 2 through 6 from the section above to embed the updated survey link, with data name and value into your UICapture video.
