Benchmarking allows mulitple organisations to issue surveys with the same set of core questions to their own cohort of respondents and then benchmark against the aggregate results from all the other participating organisations.
Currently, Online Surveys hosts Jisc’s Digital experience insights surveys, Vitae’s CEDARS survey and Advance HE’s UKES, PTES and PRES surveys.
Shortly after all of the surveys in a benchmarking group have closed, a benchmarking tab will appear in the menu at the top of your survey’s Analyse area
Understanding your benchmarking report
Benchmarking reports compare the results of quantiative questions (Choice, Dropdown and Grid) in your survey to an aggregate of results from common questions in surveys issued by other organistions.
Below is an example of what this comparison looks like. Each question has a set of three columns against the answer options in the question.
Your survey: these are your results, mirroring what is on your Overview page.
Comparison: these are the aggregate results collected by all other organisations.
Total: these are the total results of the benchmarking group (your survey + all other surveys).
