Case Study: Indiana University Bloomington centralizes course evaluations and boosts response rates with Explorance Blue

Indiana University Bloomington streamlines course evaluations for 46,000 students with Explorance Blue

Indiana University Bloomington, the flagship campus of the Indiana University System, faced a significant challenge in unifying its course evaluation process. With over 46,000 students across 550+ programs, the decentralized university relied on a mix of paper forms and disparate online tools, making it difficult to generate consistent insights. They turned to Explorance to find a scalable solution with its Blue platform.

Explorance implemented its Blue solution, which centralized the evaluation process while maintaining flexibility for individual academic units through a cascading project model and Question Bank. This streamlined operations and significantly improved student engagement, resulting in the university's highest ever response rate for online course evaluations in the fall 2015 term after launch. The centralized system also provided students with transparent access to results for informed course selection.
