Course Evaluation & Institutional Surveys

Integrations drive response rates, reporting

Your survey process doesn’t exist in a vacuum, so we’ve developed turnkey integrations with all major LMS systems, Ellucian’s Ethos API for Banner and Colleague, and Digital Measures by Watermark.

Seamless LMS integration encourages student participation with automated notifications and convenient survey access points, and provides the option to make surveys mandatory. Mobile-friendly survey access from any device increases engagement, leading to higher response rates and better quality data.

Understanding the student experience lies at the heart of continuous improvement in higher education, so we’re also innovating to connect course evaluation and survey data to Watermark’s assessment solutions.

Simple setup & administration

Fast-track implementation gets you up and running quickly, scaling for any institution size institution and supporting sophisticated deployments, including centralized or decentralized administration. Simple setup — and strong support on the rare occasions you may need it — makes EvaluationKIT easy to administer and minimizes reliance on critical IT resources.

Turnkey LMS integration unlocks flexible automation options, giving you control over how mandatory or optional surveys are. Unlimited email communication and flexible automation options allow you to make notifications as frequent and persistent or passive as you need.

Text analytics

Turn qualitative responses into data points to allow for deeper understanding of evaluation results. When you know what students are saying, you can respond more specifically and personally to the student experience. Qualitative questions make students feel heard, driving increased engagement and higher response rates.

Give faculty and administrators an accurate understanding of respondents’ sentiments so they can develop actionable insights to inform continuous improvement. Through sentiment analysis and theme grouping, Text Analytics ensures you can efficiently and comprehensively analyze qualitative survey responses to understand what’s working for students; understand how teaching techniques and program/course structure are perceived; support faculty professional development, and more.

Institutional surveys

Go beyond course evaluation to better understand the student experience on your campus with institutional surveys that leverage the same strengths as course evaluations. Ensure you have your finger on the pulse of student, faculty, and staff sentiment in real time with tools that drive response rates and connect to other campus systems. Keep tabs on the campus community and alumni with a single, easy-to-use system that ensures you get the survey responses you need to inform decisions and plan improvements.

Powerful, real-time reporting

Results matter. Quickly access the data you need to answer big-picture questions and manage quality at all levels of your institution. Real-time reporting gives you the data you need to inform next semester’s planning. Dynamic dashboards allow users to analyze results by different criteria, including course sections, student demographics, and more.

Distribute secure reports to the appropriate faculty and administrators directly within your LMS, through “one-click” links in automated email notifications, or in a standalone site using single sign- on.

Full integration with Digital Measures

Simplify the process of incorporating course evaluation data into the faculty review process by eliminating time-consuming and error-prone manual data entry processes.

A completely seamless integration between EvaluationKIT and Digital Measures manages the mapping of course evaluation results to courses listed in faculty activity records.
