UVa QuestionPro License Renewed Through Oct. 31, 2012
UVa and QuestionPro have renegotiated our license agreement, so faculty, staff, and students may continuing creating accounts on the QuestionPro website. This license extension also provides previous account owners with access to any surveys and/or results from their old Sponsored accounts.
As you plan your use of QuestionPro, please bear in mind that the current license expires October 31, 2012 and license renewal beyond this date is not guaranteed. With the exception of creating sub-accounts, license features are the same as QuestionPro's Corporate license features.
What is QuestionPro?
QuestionPro is Web-based software for creating and distributing surveys. It provides:
- an intuitive wizard interface for creating survey questions,
- tools for distributing your survey via email or your website, and
- tools for analyzing and viewing your results.
You simply build your survey and email it to a list of potential respondents. QuestionPro will collect and record the responses. Results are available in real time.
A note about building "good" surveys: conducting a survey that will obtain valid results requires knowledge, experience, and careful consideration of all the factors involved, just like any research or scientific endeavor. Responses and survey outcomes are affected by how you word your questions, their order, pick your response choice types, and the quality of the Web survey tool—Question Pro can create a rigorous and methodologically sound survey.
QuestionPro University Sponsorship
QuestionPro has partnered with the University of Virginia to provide a free University site license. Projects making use of this license must be strictly academic in nature and should not be part of any paid research or consulting work.
The University site license applies to anyone affiliated with the University — students (full and part-time), faculty members, and administrative staff.
More information about the University Sponsorship is available from QuestionPro.
