Case Study: Alamo Colleges District automates 9,000+ course evaluations with Explorance Blue

Alamo Colleges District automates 9,000+ course evaluations in 20 minutes with Explorance

The Alamo Colleges District, a network of five community colleges serving over 100,000 students, faced a massive challenge in manually administering course evaluations for more than 9,000 courses each semester. This highly complex and decentralized process was unsustainable, creating inconsistencies and a significant time burden for their limited staff. They partnered with Explorance and its Blue platform to find a scalable solution.

Explorance implemented an automated solution by seamlessly integrating Blue with the college's Ellucian Banner system. This automation handled survey distribution, enrollment updates, and report delivery, dynamically adapting to different course types and terms. The result was a dramatic reduction in manual effort, cutting the process from dozens of hours to just 20 minutes per term, while providing faculty and administrators with real-time dashboards and consistent, reliable reporting.
