Case Study: Grand Valley State University achieves enhanced student creativity and collaboration with Bluescape

Digital Savvy Students Embrace New Ways to Learn and Collaborate Together

Grand Valley State University (GVSU) needed new ways to teach tech‑savvy students and engage diverse cohorts — from supply chain to law — because static, one‑way lectures and scattered documents limited creativity, timely content updates, and equitable participation. To tackle this, GVSU adopted Bluescape’s digital workspace/online whiteboard to promote visual, team‑based learning and real‑time collaboration.

Bluescape delivered a shared, visually rich platform used across undergraduate and graduate programs for four years, offering central document storage, live lesson updates, mock‑trial presentation spaces, and collaborative workboards that reduced duplicated research and sped project workflows. As a result, Bluescape boosted classroom interaction and accountability, made meetings and projects more productive and faster, and helped students present with greater confidence while enabling faculty to keep curriculum timely and relevant.
