What’s included
AI follow-ups
Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes an AI follow-up interview question that lets students describe a specific real scenario in their own words, going beyond fixed-choice ratings
- Pairs opinion-scale acceptability ratings across 7 distinct AI-use scenarios (brainstorming, grammar checking, summarizing, drafting, coding, exam answers, submitting AI text as one's own) so nuance in norms isn't lost
- Combines policy-awareness, personal-usage, peer-observation, and policy-recommendation sections with transitional chat messages that frame each part of the study for respondents
- Automated per-response quality scoring and an auto-generated report mean open-ended disclosure and recommendation questions can be analyzed without manual coding
Jotform
Academic Integrity Form TemplateThis is a static, fielding-ready form template rather than a research instrument, likely oriented toward reporting or acknowledging integrity policies rather than studying attitudes and usage patterns. It's easy to deploy and customize with Jotform's drag-and-drop builder, but it isn't designed to probe nuanced student perceptions or behaviors. No mention of adaptive questioning or AI-assisted follow-up.
What it does well
- Quick to deploy using Jotform's established form builder
- Likely offers simple customization of fields and branding
- Familiar, widely-used form platform for institutions
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up probing on individual responses
- No voice AI interview option for richer qualitative capture
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated analysis report
Typeform
Academic Research Form TemplateA generic academic research form template rather than one purpose-built around AI and academic integrity themes, so a researcher would need to substantially rewrite questions to cover policy awareness, usage, and peer-behavior topics. Typeform's conversational one-question-at-a-time format is pleasant for respondents, but the template itself is a generic starting point, not a subject-matter-specific instrument. No adaptive AI interviewing is indicated.
What it does well
- Clean, conversational one-question-at-a-time UI known for good completion rates
- Flexible logic branching for skip patterns
- Easy to customize question wording and answer types
Where it falls short
- Generic template requires manual rebuilding of academic-integrity-specific content (policy awareness, acceptability ladder, peer observation)
- No adaptive AI follow-up interview or voice AI interview capability
- No automated per-response quality scoring or auto-generated report
