Integrate QuestionPro with SONA credit management

Sona Systems allows researchers to assign and set up credits efficiently. Researchers can view a list of people who sign up for their study and are able to administer (or not administer) credit based on participation. The system also allows administrators to establish the number of credits needed for a participant to successfully complete their course study. Administrators and instructors can even go as far as granting special non-study credit to students who complete an alternative assignment, such as a research paper or advanced project. Managing credits allows users to:

Have full control over credit allocation-assigning or indicating who did not attend

Run participant reports and easily make assessment of participation performance

Give non-study credits for participants who complete research alternatives

See a list of students enrolled in their course and their credits

Sona Systems is the leader in cloud-based participant pool management software, helping thousands of research coordinators and researchers around the world set up studies, recruit participants, and manage credits or paid participation. Not only does the software grant researchers the ability to prescreen participants, but also restrict eligibility based on past participation in other studies, and manage study schedules. Furthermore, the system produces a wide array of participant pool usage reports and configuration options, giving research coordinators tight control over the entire research process.

While these instructions refer to "credit-granting", they work for both credit and paid studies. For paid studies, participation will be marked (instead of credit granted) just like with any other paid study. Here are the basic steps to integrate SONA credit to QuestionPro. On your Sona Systems site, change the Study URL so it includes ?custom1=%SURVEY_CODE% in the URL. So if the QuestionPro URL is: questionpro.com/t/AOjvqZkebI then change it to questionpro.com/t/AIZBjs6?custom1=%SURVEY_CODE%

Having completed Step 1, the Study Information on your Sona Systems site now displays a URL labeled "QuestionPro Automatic Redirect URL" to QuestionPro Automatic redirect

Step 3. If Steps 1 and 2 were completed correctly, then QuestionPro will add in the parameter automatically when it redirects the user. So if the QuestionPro Automatic Redirect Website Address will look something like this: These features are described on QuestionPro's site at the following URLs: QuestionPro custom variables in URLs
