External Study Credit Granting with Inquisit
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.
Inquisit is a product offered by Millisecond Software, and the instructions below apply to Inquisit Web Edition only.
Here are the basic steps, which are subject to change (since the product is controlled by Millisecond):
Step 1: Change Study URL in Sona
On your Sona Systems site, change the Study URL so it includes ?x2=%SURVEY_CODE% in the URL. So if the Inquisit URL is:
https://research.millisecond.com/myexperiment.web
then change it to
https://research.millisecond.com/myexperiment.web?subjectid=%SURVEY_CODE%
Step 2: Add Survey Parameter “subjectid”
Having completed Step 1, the Study Information on your Sona Systems site now displays a URL labeled “Inquisit Redirect to an external web site”.
In Inquisit, use the web script registration wizard to configure the survey to accept the survey code number. On the part where it asks how to generate subject IDs, select URL Parameter and enter in “subjectid”:
Step 3: Configure the Finish Page in Inquisit
The “Redirect to an external web site” URL should look something like this:
https://yourschool.sona-systems.com/webstudy_credit.aspx?experiment_id=123&credit_token=4e48f9b638a&survey_code=<%script.subjectid%>
Paste the “Inquisit Redirect to an external web site” URL copied from Sona directly into Inquisit.
These features are described on Millisecond’s site at the following URL:
