Welcome to Ross Academic Technology

Ross Academic Technology works with Ross faculty and staff to facilitate surveys, assessments, and evaluations. Our focus is to standardize the quality of the faculty and student experience across programs and academic areas. 

Peerceptiv Peer Evaluation Tool

Peerceptiv Peer Evaluation Tool now Available on your Canvas Site. Peerceptiv is a new tool that can make the setup process for peer evaluations efficient and seamless. Faculty members and assistants can create peer evaluation assignments that leverage existing Canvas groups, track student progress, and download results. Students receive a seamless experience for peer evaluations across their courses.

To get started, here is a quick guide to Peerceptiv at Ross.

Qualtrics Survey Tool

All U-M affiliates can create and access their Qualtrics account by visiting https://umich.qualtrics.com/

If you are Ross faculty or Ross staff, you can get help with your Qualtrics Account by emailing RossAcadTech@umich.edu.

Qualtrics Groups

Qualtrics Groups make it easy for faculty and staff teams to manage access to shared surveys without having to add collaborators one-by-one. If your group regularly collaborates in Qualtrics and you want consistent, centralized control over who can access shared surveys and contact lists, you can request a Qualtrics Group.

Why use a Qualtrics Group?

  • Manage access for an entire team at once (instead of sharing with individuals).
  • Keep access up to date automatically as team members join or leave.
  • Reduce rework—no need to re-share surveys or contact lists when membership changes.

Recommended best practice

  • Share every collaborative survey with the Qualtrics Group using the Address Book.
  • The group should appear at the top of the list when sharing.
  • Sharing with the group allows all group members to:
    • Edit surveys
    • Download results

Ownership and permissions

  • The survey owner is the only person who can:
    • Add/remove collaborators
    • Delete the survey

Updating group membership

How access changes with membership

When someone is added to the group, they automatically gain access to items shared with the group.(rossacadtech@umich.edu). The benefit of using the group is that surveys and contact lists do not need to be reshared when someone is added or removed from the group. When someone leaves the group, they lose access to the group items. When someone new joins, they automatically gain access to the group items.

When someone is removed from the group, they immediately lose access to group-shared items.
