The week of April 14–18 was relatively light in terms of workload, giving me time to focus on continued brainstorming for the Stetson Stories project. My main objective was to improve student outreach, exploring various methods for collecting stories efficiently.
Initially, we considered using my email as the point of contact, but we quickly realized it wasn’t practical. We then tested Google Forms, conducting a two-week trial run with members of the Marketing team. While it offered a basic solution, it lacked the functionality we needed and didn’t generate the desired engagement.
After further discussion and research, I decided to move forward with Qualtrics. It offers a more versatile and user-friendly platform for both distributing the form and collecting student submissions—whether in written (PDF) or audio format. This shift will allow us to streamline the process and make it more accessible for students to share their stories.
In addition to this project, I continued working on the ongoing assignment of capturing campus life through photography. These photos will contribute to a growing archive of visual content available for future use across university platforms.
I agree that Qualtrics is a really flexible platform. Glad you got a bit of experience using it for this project.
