Online Survey Tool - Vovici Enterprise (Formerly EFM Community)

The University uses an online survey software platform called Vovici Enterprise. Vovici Enterprise provides faculty and staff the ability to quickly and easily create questionnaires, post surveys, collect responses, analyze results, and distribute findings. The University provides access to its online survey tool for faculty and staff. Students are granted access individually.

Training is highly recommended

 

It is important to your successful use of the Vovici Enterprise that you take a training class. UNF offers Level 1 and Level 2 training classes each month. These are two-hour, instructor-lead, hands on classes. Visit the Center for Professional Development and Training and click on Register Now (left side menu) to register for the class.

 

Graduate students interested in online surveys training should e-mail training@unf.edu for more information.

UNF faculty and staff have online survey accounts.

Students

Student accounts are created when the following steps have been completed:

  1. Have a faculty or staff sponsor (most likely this will be the instructor of a course requiring the research or the sponsor of an organization).
  2. Gain approval from UNF's Institutional Research Board (IRB). The IRB meets monthly, so students will need to allow ample time for gaining approval. After approval, the IRB will contact ITS to have the account created.
  3. Register for training by calling (904) 620-1707 or e-mailing the Center for Professional Development and Training.

You may need to have your survey reviewed by the UNF Institutional Review Board:

Users of UNF's online survey tool must obtain the approval of the UNF Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects (IRB) if the results of a survey given to UNF students, faculty, or staff will be published or presented publicly.  

Also, if a survey affiliated with the University is administered to an outside population, especially to a vulnerable population such as children or offenders, approval from the UNF IRB is required.


Surveys that collect information for internal administrative purposes do not need to be reviewed by the IRB.  Examples of these include customer satisfaction surveys, employee climate surveys, and online forms used to collect information that will not be presented publicly.

The IRB at UNF has the fundamental charge of protecting the rights and welfare of human subjects in all studies and research carried out by University faculty, staff or students, conducted under the auspices of UNF.
