10:45 AM to 11:15 AM Closing Ceremony (Interactive Session – Please Bring Your Mobile Device)Session Descriptions Thought Leadership Roundtable: Response Rates: Drawing Insights from This (not so) Simple Metric Moderators: Gregory Hum, Assistant Director, Teaching Assessment, University of Toronto Kosha Bramesfeld, Data Analyst, University of Toronto Victoria James, Data Coordinator, University of Toronto “What are your response rates”? “I hear online course evaluations have really low response rates”. Questions and concerns such as these are frequently expressed by those switching from paper to online surveys. Underlying this is a fear that response rates will be “too low”. We aim to shift the discussion from such questions towards a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of the underlying issues. First, we aim to address the question of “too low”. Namely, how does a response rate relate to the actual interpretability of the data and why? As well, how can we statistically determine these thresholds? And, once determined, how often is the response rate actually “too low”? Second, we aim to re‐ examine the calculation of response rates in terms of their levels of aggregation. Specifically, we show how calculating response rates by survey‐student pairings, by course, and by student, can each provide different ways to understand the data both theoretically and practically. Thought Leadership Roundtable: Course Evaluation Feed Forward: Students as Stakeholders in the Learning Process Through Deep Formative Feedback Practices Moderator: Krisy Mahome, Assistant Director of Bloomington Evaluation Services and Testing, Indiana University Bloomington and Higher Education Administration Ph.D. student with a focus on Formative Feedback Engaging students in establishing and improving the learning process can seem like a daunting task for faculty when using a traditional faculty‐centered pedagogical approach. For the purpose of improving the level of quality in the learners’ experience, continuous formative feedback is being examined as an avenue for faculty to assess learning‐in‐process via two‐way dialogues with students. In this thought leadership roundtable session, we discuss not only the “why” behind the use of formative feedback but also the faculty voices collected to understand better the needs, benefits, and challenges associated with the use of formative feedback tools like Bluepulse. Join this session to discuss the advantages and difficulties in cultivating this type of collaborative learning environment that involves including all stakeholders in the learning process. The participants will have the opportunity to leave this session with insight on how to utilize formative feedback tools to establish and improve their learning process along with key factors to consider. Thought Leadership Roundtable: Rethinking Course Evaluation Administration for Competency‐Based Education Courses Moderator: Lee Bewley, Program Director, B.S. OLL‐Healthcare Leadership, Associate Professor, University of Louisville Competency‐Based Education is an educational approach that focuses on competency‐development and demonstrated mastery of competencies as the prime variables of educational process in a time‐flexible, non‐term format. Students may progress more quickly or more deliberately than normal term courses matched to the needs and goals of each student. Thought Leadership Roundtable: The Blue Guru: Sharing Your Expertise and Gaining New Insights Moderators: Katie Partin, Assistant Director, Office of Institutional Effectiveness, University of Louisville Katie Bixby, Institutional Effectiveness Analyst II, Office of Institutional Effectiveness, University of Louisville Thomas Dohm, Director, University of Minnesota Whether you’re new to Blue or an old pro, you have something to offer the collective! Come share your secrets for success and pet peeves, along with your “what I wish I would have known” and “in a perfect [electronic] world” scenarios of what you hope to be able to do with Blue! Be prepared to share in the conversation so we can all learn from each other!

Keynote Address: The Art and Science of Student Success: Using Design Thinking and Data Science to Help Students
Learn Well and Finish Strong
Speaker: Dr. Mark David Milliron, Cofounder and Chief Learning Officer, Civitas Learning
Using examples from other sectors that bring together the best of design thinking and data science to achieve their
diverse missions—from business to athletics to healthcare—we’ll catalyze a conversation about how we leverage this
approach in education. We’ll then dive into examples of these insight and action analytics efforts in education, showing
how schools, colleges, and universities are innovating with everything from predictive modeling to early‐warning systems
to engaging apps for students, faculty, and advisers that help more students learn well and successfully navigate their
educational journeys.
Session: Stories from the Past and Vision of the Future – eXplorance CEO Update
Presenter: Samer Saab, CEO, eXplorance
The last year has been a very eventful one for eXplorance. During this session, we will share with you all pertinent updates
since we last met in August of 2016. We will unveil our latest and greatest software and services news. Get ready to learn
more about Blue 7, DIG 2, Bluepulse 2, and BlueX. We will also give you a sneak peek of the advancements andenhancements our hard working team is bringing your way and share what is to come over the next 12 months. As we close the session off, we invite you to dream with us a little by sharing our vision and technology roadmap. Session: The Blue Cascaded Course Evaluation Model to Make Data More Meaningful by Leveraging Institutional Hierarchy Presenter: Long Hua, Chief Product Officer, eXplorance Institutions managing a decentralized course evaluation approach are looking for ways to address their need for a more comprehensive configuration of their survey instruments. The aim is to ensure that stakeholders at all levels in an organization have the ability to collect meaningful data, and query and receive results pertinent to their areas of interest. The Blue cascaded course evaluation model provides a unique way to link organizational units (e.g., school of arts, department of computer science, etc.) with their respective list of course evaluation questions. In addition, this capability leads to many time saving ways of managing course evaluation projects and reports. Session: A Tale of Two Faculties: Course Evaluation Implementation at a Large University, a Study of Contrasts and Lessons Learned Presenters: Victoria James, Data Coordinator, University of Toronto Gregory Hum, Assistant Director, Teaching Assessment, University of Toronto The University of Toronto is in a phased process of implementing the University of Toronto’s Cascaded Course Evaluation Framework (CCEF). The CCEF aims to represent both centralized and decentralized teaching and learning priorities across various multiple levels of the University. In this session, we share some of the insights gained through two contrasting cases of implementation, one which was immediately successful, and another with ongoing challenges. Lessons learned include how to deeply understand and adapt to local contexts/goals, the importance of community consultation and “buy‐ in”, and the need for long‐term sustainable solutions. We will discuss how success is determined from data, and how to bring troubled implementations back on track. Session: Blue Advanced Relationship Tables (ART) and Other Musings Presenter: Daniel Glover, Developer II, University of Minnesota So maybe you have heard about Blue Advanced Relationship Tables (ART). Are you wondering how they can help manage your survey needs? We will demonstrate the approach we have found to be most effective in getting supervisory information whose source of truth is currently distributed across the organization in to Blue. Then we will discuss how we expect to leverage this process to facilitate the new ART and in managing dynamic report viewership access coming to Blue. Session: Complete the LEM Framework with Embedded Faculty Development Presenters: Pete Baccile, Business & Relations Officer, Verteres Partners, LLC Kristin Good, Learning and Development Expert, Verteres Partners, LLC Brenda Barnes, Solutions Engineer, Verteres Partners, LLC Imagine: A faculty member uses all of the best‐in‐class benefits of eXplorance’s Learning Experience Management (LEM) framework.

Within a few simple clicks, the faculty member is launched into a community of targeted online professional development facilitated by teaching and learning specialists. Through a partnership with eXplorance, Verteres Partners is completing the LEM framework by embedding training and peer networking online. Come explore and network with us!
Session: Leveraging Blue’s Enhanced Data Structure Capabilities for Dynamic Report Access and Teaching Roles Support Presenter: Zelbrey Bedard, VP, Product Management (Blue), eXplorance When it comes to deans, department chairs, and other academic leaders for whom access to reports is essential, institutions have long struggled to replicate the organizational links between these constituents and the reports originating from multiple course evaluation campaigns. When an academic leader changes roles or a new leader is appointed, a further need arises to propagate changes to report access. In addition, when institutions wish to evaluate teachers and teaching assistants with a separate set of questions for each instructor type, it requires implementing separate processes ‐ one for teachers and another for TAs (or lab assistants, secondary lecturers, etc.). What this means is that students will be asked to complete multiple forms for the same course. For the survey administrator, it also means managing multiple processes and analyses, which adds time and effort. This session focuses on the new data structure capabilities that make it possible to better support these two use cases. Session: Measuring What We Do: Using Blue to Survey and Improve Our Landscape Presenter: IL Barrow, QEP Specialist for Assessment, University of Louisville The Delphi Center for Teaching and Learning strives to make data‐driven decisions based on information collected from our faculty, staff, and students. Blue survey is a key solution for how we collect these data. This session will focus on the various ways the Delphi Center utilizes Blue survey to articulate need, satisfaction, and impact of our services and programs. The presenter will also integrate best practices in assessment and evaluation to complement our use of Blue survey. Session: What Can We Learn about Teaching and Learning from Our Student Evaluation of Teaching Data? Presenters: Brad Wuetherick, Executive Director, Learning and Teaching, Dalhousie University Bruno Roy, SRI Technical Administrator, Dalhousie University The role of student ratings of instruction as part of the landscape for the evaluation of teaching has become very contested, particularly in recent years as some recent studies have called for us to dismiss student evaluations as biased (for example, due to what has been identified as gender bias against particular faculty). Within the context of some lessons learned from the past six years using Blue for online student evaluations of teaching at Dalhousie University (a Canadian, medical‐doctoral, public research university located in Halifax, Nova Scotia), this session will explore three different projects using student evaluation of teaching data as part of a broader academic analytics framework on campus to explore the teaching and learning environment on campus. After integrating our Blue data set with our institutional data (provided by our institutional student information system), we were able to explore three major questions – 1. What do student evaluations of teaching tell us about student persistence, success, and retention?; 2. Are student evaluations of teaching actually measuring teaching, or are they really more determined by other variables (like gender); and 3. What other ways of analyzing data at the program, department, or faculty level (beyond the standard reporting at the level of individual courses and instructors, and the reporting of departmental and institutional means) might inform our understanding of the teaching and learning environment? In addition to sharing the results of our exploration of these three questions, this session will explore the ways of acting on student evaluation of teaching data, as an institution, to improve the student experience of the teaching and learning environment, including through a facilitated discussion of two cases representing hypothetical data at the institutional and department levels.
Session: The Role of an End of Semester Module Questionnaire in Enhancing Students’ Learning Experience and Supporting Staff Professional Development Presenter: Yao Wu, Centre Administrator, Xi’an Jiaotong‐Liverpool University This presentation will firstly offer a brief introduction about Xi’an Jiaotong‐Liverpool University (XJTLU), a Sino‐British University in China and its Module Feedback Questionnaire (MQ) practice with Blue. Then it will provide evidence of good practice in relation to how one particular department instigates a process of closing the feedback loop to students. This is achieved by publishing the summaries of the MQ reports on the staff and students communication page on the XJTLU VLE platform. The presentation will also examine the developments of MQ as a fundamental teaching evaluation tool. The distinctive feature about MQ is that it not only provides a comprehensive overview of students’ feedback regarding a module’s objectives, materials, assessments and delivery, but also offers comparative perspectives among different modules and departments on a university scale, which is helpful for addressing both students’ learning needs and staff’s professional development. Session: Implementation of Blue Text Analytics at Temasek Polytechnic Presenter: Samer Jaffar, EVP Global Customer Loyalty, eXplorance As attributes, thematic taxonomy and sentiment in teaching and learning are important to help us gain deeper understanding of students’ satisfaction, Temasek Polytechnic (TP), Singapore, has successfully used Blue Text Analytics ( BTA ), a text analytics solution, to mine free‐form textual data from its students’ responses in its Evaluation of Teaching Effectiveness survey. Join us in this eXplorance‐led presentation to find out how TP uses BTA to uncover hidden insights, validate quality of its students’ feedback and obtain new intelligence for further research. Session: Blue Implementation in a Decentralized Environment: The Case of UNC‐Chapel Hill Presenters: Jason Block, Program Compliance Coordinator, Office of Institutional Research and Assessment, University of North Carolina‐Chapel Hill Heather Thompson, Course Evaluation Coordinator, College of Arts and Sciences, University of North Carolina‐Chapel Hill One eXplorance executive described the Blue implementation at the University of North Carolina as the most complex implementation the company has done. Administrators from UNC Chapel Hill will use this session to describe the complex nature of course evaluations at UNC‐Chapel Hill and the challenges they faced, and mostly overcame, in the hopes of helping institutions new to Blue, considering Blue, or considering switching their approach to Blue to avoid a difficult implementation process. Session: How to Embrace Your Data and Use it to Inform Learning and Continuous Improvement Presenter: John Miller, Eastern Regional Executive, Nuventive This presentation is designed to help you answer the “so what” questions surrounding your data. What did you do with it? What actions will you take? Will the actions drive a budget request? Most importantly, did the results drive improvement? In this session, based on our experiences @ Nuventive, we will talk about ways to provide individuals, departments and leadership with a place to document their efforts, record the actions taken, and report achievement on key performance objectives.
Session: Blue Survey to Advance Institutional Research and Initiatives Presenter: Jason Immekus, Associate Professor, College of Education and Human Development, University of Louisville This session examines the use of Blue surveys to advance faculty and graduate student research and institutional initiatives. Specifically, we will explore the ways in which faculty and student research can be aligned with university‐wide initiatives to promote institutional decision‐making while making significant contributions to the knowledge base. For didactic purposes, the discussion will be situated in research conducted over the 2016‐17 academic year on doctoral students’ experiences in graduate education and faculty involvement in community‐engaged scholarship. Implications faculty and student development and institutional‐research will be presented. Session: Advanced Integration with LMS and SIS: Improving Student Learning Experience Presenters: Margot MacNutt, Training Manager, eXplorance Georges Geha, VP, Product Management (Blue), eXplorance eXplorance is developing new SIS and LMS integration tools to improve the student learning experience by streamlining the course evaluation and registration process. Deeper integration with PeopleSoft will give students access to course reports and aid in their course selection decisions, and the grade blocking feature will boost response rates. By leveraging native capabilities in Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle and Brightspace, such as to‐do lists, calendar notices, assignments, and grade pathways, access to course evaluations is front and center. Session: Contextualizing Student Feedback by Mashing Up Course Evaluations and Learning Interaction Data to Make Student Feedback More Meaningful Presenter: Miles Lincoln, Course Evaluation Service Lead, University of California Berkeley At the end of each term, we ask students to evaluate their courses and instructors, but what happens next? How can we best equip instructors to interpret this feedback? How might we combine student feedback with other data to create a more comprehensive and actionable record of the students’ learning experience? In this presentation, we will share our efforts at UC Berkeley to contextualize course evaluation reports to improve their value for the instructor. We will discuss our learning and progress in using learning interaction data and other readily‐available sources to create enriched course evaluation reports. Finally, building on our experience, we will outline next steps to scale this effort, with the goal of empowering instructors to interpret their feedback in context and react in a more informed manner. Session: Opting In & Changing Dates: Giving Faculty More Control Over Evaluations Presenter: Donna Davis, Course Evaluation Administrator, James Madison University Could something as simple as a date change be the tool necessary for instructor support of the Blue evaluations process? Would Unit Heads allow it? Learn how evaluation timing could be a near‐perfect solution to Blue implementation concerns. Session: Monitoring Academic Quality: When Data are Challenged and Opportunities are Lost in the Discourse Presenter: Julie Arthur, Director, Planning Quality and Review, Southern Cross University Changes in the external landscape of higher education in Australia present increasing challenges to keep internal quality assurance processes aligned with public comparisons of teaching quality. The updated Higher Education Standards Framework (Threshold Standards) (2015) placed greater emphasis on the quality assurance of teaching and learning in Australian universities. The Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) website publicly represents nationally collected data on students and graduates. At Southern Cross University, a pilot project has been implemented to improve
the oversight of academic quality at the unit (subject) level using data on student success and feedback. This paper reports
on the challenges and opportunities currently being experienced.

Session: Lessons Learned from Implementing Bluepulse in Classrooms with Faculty Champions
Presenters: Nitin Sharma, Product Specialist, eXplorance
Stephanie Romano, National Dean of Hybrid and Blended Learning, Education Affiliates
In this session, we will present lessons learned from having implemented Bluepulse in various institutions. The two most
common areas of focus in implementing Bluepulse expressed by institutions are “How to get students onto the Bluepulse
platform and engaged” and “What feedback questions to ask” during a term, as learning occurs. We will share success
stories from institutions that are implementing Bluepulse, along with critical success factors, tips, and best practices.
Building a culture of feedback as more departments and faculty in an institution begin to use the platform and identifying
“faculty champions” as early as possible emerge as a key critical success factor for teaching and learning with Bluepulse. In
this presentation, we will talk about how the role of faculty champions and their interactions with each other can impact
the successful implementation of Bluepulse in integrating formative feedback practices to teaching and learning.
Session: Thinking Beyond the Traditional ‘Instructor Evaluation’ ‐ Using ONE Simplified Survey to Evaluate Instructors
Presenter: Nick Ullrich, Data Support Specialist, Galen College of Nursing
Is your intuition struggling with ideas on how to easily evaluate instructors? Galen College of Nursing will present an
alternative way for supervisors to evaluate their instructors using a simplified survey. By using one open‐sourced link
generated through Blue, we converted an existing paper and pencil evaluation tool for supervisors to evaluate their
faculty members more easily and effectively. During this session, we will preview an evaluation, show an example of the
results, and discuss the benefits and limitations this method offers our College.
Session: Response Rate Monitoring: Technical Overview and Implementation Case Study
Presenters: Mohammed Sheraidah, Director, Product Knowledge & Engagement, eXplorance
Becky Patterson, Executive Director, Office of Institutional Research and Planning, University of Louisville
This session will provide a technical overview of the response rate monitoring feature in Blue. The University of Louisville
will share how response rate monitoring data informed changes in business practices to increase response rates.
Session: Beyond Numbers: Using Qualitative Results to Drive Change at the Programme Level
Presenter: Ineke Kranenburg, Academic Director, Auckland University of Technology
Surveys provide important information on student perceptions of course and teacher quality in many Universities. As a
focus on the importance of the student voice expands, identifying the best ways to listen to, represent, and advocate for
that voice will become more important. While quantitative items are easy to summarise, the depth of insight
into/understanding of the student experience that they offer is often limited. Qualitative results typically offer the exact
opposite: a rich source of detailed information that quickly becomes difficult to summarise as comments expand from 10s,
to 100s, to 1000s. Where the volume of comments becomes overwhelming, text analytic software can be used to quickly
summarise student comments in ways that engage staff and represent student voices fairly. Using relevant case studies,
we will focus on how Blue Text Analytics can be used to summarise student experiences, test ideas, identify areas of
strength, and provide a description of areas identified for improvement in the context of an integrated University wide
quality assurance process.Session: Unveiling BlueX – The Generalized Survey Tool Presenter: Samer Saab, CEO, eXplorance After much reflection and following a thorough beta program with many of your colleagues, eXplorance brings to you the latest in surveying technology. Get ready for an enhanced survey management experience, one that is referred to as: simple, smart, and delightful. During this session, we will cover the basics of survey creation, notifications, panel management, and the respondent experience. Session: No 360? No Problem: Creating a 360 Evaluation Project by Using Blue’s Evaluation Module Presenter: Larry Williams, Educational Technology Specialist, Oregon Health & Science University Let’s say you’ve been tasked with creating a 360 evaluation in Blue. It’s a great tool, but what if you don’t have access to that module? And what if you have to create the evaluation project in a short time frame? This was the case for the evaluation manager at Oregon Health and Sciences University, as he created a peer, self, and facilitator evaluation for the Clinical Nutrition department. In this presentation, he’ll address how to build a 360 evaluation with only using a few CSV datasource files, in Blue’s evaluation module. Session: Designing and Improving Competency‐Based Education Programs: The Role of Student, Faculty, and Employer Feedback in Competency‐Based Education Presenter: Dr. Van Davis, Associate Vice President Higher Education Policy and Research, Blackboard, Inc. As competency‐based education shifts the educational focus to student mastery of clearly defined competencies, feedback from students, faculty, and employers will become more critical for program design and review. How can such feedback be elicited and how should it impact both the design and continuous improvement process will be the topic of this presentation. Session: Piloting Blue Online Course Evaluation Solution in a UK Higher Education Institution Presenter: Julie Mulvey, Learning Technologist, Durham University This talk will discuss the year‐long pilot that was run within Durham's Business School that ran alongside an MEQ (Module Evaluation Questionnaires) Task & Finish Group looking at evaluation questions and evaluation questionnaires. The pilot of Blue at Durham was completed in late May this year with the decision to implement Blue online course evaluation solution across the institution for the next academic year. She will share the pilot experience, highlighting the issues that arose and how Blue overcame obstacles to provide a streamlined solution. She will also present a list of questions from a UK perspective on implementing Blue for discussion. Session: The Latest and Greatest of Bluepulse: Unveiled Presenter: Samer Saab, CEO, eXplorance Join us for an interactive session where you will get a full preview of the next generation release of Bluepulse that brings your way an expanded feature set, a larger scope transcending beyond just courses to services, teams and people; and an exciting roadmap to pave the path ahead.
Session: The Journey of Kent State University Presenter: Paul Creed III, Technology Project Director, Kent State University Paul Creed will tell the story of Kent State University and their journey through the world of online course evaluations. From the days of paper through a home‐grown system, to the implementation of Blue, to “the pilot”, to the current state of surveys, to the future, Paul will present the story of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Session: Factors Contributing to a Rapid and Successful Implementation of Blue at Monash University Presenter: Elizabeth Toy, Learning and Teaching Quality Manager, Monash University Monash University is the largest university in Australia with over 70,000 students. In 2015, it commenced a project to replace the student survey platform in order to achieve a range of institutional objectives. Through the application of Extended Enterprise Architecture, the project re‐conceptualized the relationship between the survey administration and the utilization of the survey results to improve learning and teaching. It also reshaped the procurement process so that implementation was rapid, with the university knowing exactly what it needed and how it would be applied once it had selected Blue as its survey platform. Monash became an autonomous user of Blue very quickly and the project was delivered on time; successfully delivering the Semester 2 2016 main survey round with no procedural or technical issues – a survey that reached 61,000 students, with 199,000 individual surveys, and included over 3,000 academic staff for individual feedback. The project identified a range of wider issues in relation to data quality that has resulted in further work at Monash, as well as enabling the development of new applications and presentations of the data to enhance the utilisation of student feedback to improve learning and teaching, spaces/facilities, IT and other dimensions of the student experience. Session: Is Over‐surveying Undermining your Efforts? Create a University‐wide Survey Administration Process FTW Presenters: Katie Partin, Assistant Director, Office of Institutional Effectiveness, University of Louisville Katie Bixby, Institutional Effectiveness Analyst II, Office of Institutional Effectiveness, University of Louisville As an institution, we must pay greater attention to a) the rationale for and quality design of surveys, b) the coordination of survey administration through one central office to maximize response rates, and c) the meaningful use of results to inform and guide continuous program improvement. Therefore, UofL has facilitated a university‐wide survey administration process. During this session, attendees will learn about how the process was created and the required components for a successful implementation. Session: Data Preparation Made Easy and Less Painful! Presenter: Krimo Bouaou, Manager, Process and Innovation, eXplorance When it comes time to launch course evaluations, one of the biggest challenges institutions face is the lack of accuracy of their SIS data often leading to laborious course evaluation experiences for teachers, students, and staff. So, if you’re tired of laboring for weeks to get SIS data ready chasing after people to confirm that data is accurate, be sure to attend this session. In this session, you will learn how an automated solution like DIG can improve data quality, while significantly saving time and resources. With DIG, data clean‐up can be distributed to a wide group of users minimizing the burden on any one individual. In this manner, users are assigned to work on data they are familiar with. DIG can decrease course evaluation preparation time from seven to just two weeks, giving you more time to spend on analyzing data ‐ leading to better insights and learning experience for all.
Panel Discussion: Marketing Outreach to Improve Response Rates Presenters: Karen Seach, Application Specialist, Duquesne University Lisa Votodian, Assistant to the Director, University of Pittsburgh Shari Barrow, Institutional Research Analyst II, University of Louisville What marketing and communication efforts does your institution utilize to get the word out to students and faculty regarding the importance (or value) of completing course evaluations? Student participation is vital to the success of the survey process. Instructors and administrators would like to see 100% response rates. Join Duquesne University, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Louisville to discuss marketing and advertising campaigns and share what your institution does to promote evaluations to ultimately increase response rates. Session: The Elephant in the Room: A Reflection of a South African Case Study of Moving Towards an Automated Teaching Evaluation Process Presenter: L. B. Matee, Manager, Vaal University of Technology Vaal University of Technology (VUT) South Africa embarked on implementing an online teaching evaluation system starting March 2017 named VQUILT, an acronym for VUT Quality in Teaching and Learning. The objective of VQUILT is to solicit constructive feedback to Lecturers and allow Lecturers to use this feedback as the basis for improvement. In this paper, we share experiences of this implementation process, challenges for students and academics, adoption of the systems by faculties and the university. We explore the impact of such implementation on the strategic direction of the university and the impact of it on the performance of lecturers, in a developing African context. Session: Journey Into “Blue” Online Course Evaluation Presenter: Lillian Marshall, Data Analyst, Blinn College Blinn College recently made a decision to migrating its existing online course evaluation platform to Blue. In this session, I will briefly talk about the key factors considered and the steps taken by the College. I will also talk about what the College plans to achieve through this migration, as well as the implementation strategy and progress being made for discussion. Session: Lessons Learned and Best Practices to Ensure a Successful and Effective Course Evaluation Cycle Presenter: Rola Omar Al‐Ghoul, Manager – Project Success, eXplorance Over the past 14 years, eXplorance has had the privilege of working alongside a large number of higher education institutions and helped in the planning, development, and launching of thousands of course evaluations of varying types and scopes. Over the years, we have accumulated (and continue to accumulate) a vast pool of best practices that we follow in order to deliver the most effective course evaluation cycles term after term. In this presentation, we will focus on highlighting some key lessons learned and best practices in different phases of the course evaluation implementation cycle that will add value to your overall process. Session: Using Evaluation Data Strategically: The Evolution of Evaluations and Strategic Decision Making at Galen College of Nursing Presenter: Carissa Shafto, Director of Institutional Effectiveness, Galen College of Nursing Galen College of Nursing adopted Blue in the spring of 2015. At that time, we had just transitioned from paper to electronic surveys in Class Climate, a platform that provided limited options for data analysis and trending. Since the implementation of Blue, data from course evaluations and other surveys have been available for use in academic program evaluation, faculty performance evaluations, and the evaluation of student support services.
