Case Study: University of Louisville achieves online course evaluation success with Explorance Blue

University of Louisville Transitions to a New Era in Course Evaluations with Blue

The University of Louisville needed to move course evaluations from a mix of mostly paper-based methods to a single online platform. As a large university with a decentralized structure, it also had to manage skepticism from academic units and maintain strong response rates while making the change.

The university selected Explorance Blue course evaluations, a web-based solution that could integrate with its in-house data and systems. With support from Explorance, the university moved all 11 academic units online in one calendar year, achieved response rates above 60%, and reported savings of at least $100,000 a year in labor and resource costs after the first two years of operation.
