Course Evaluations at Boise State University: A case study in “‘Blue’ Turf Thinking”
Wednesday, June 7th 2023, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM Eastern TimezoneOver the past few years, Boise State University has been making a concerted effort to evaluate and improve their enterprise course evaluation system. Stakeholders in Academic Affairs and Information Technology looked at internal systems and processes as well as the web-based software tool that delivered the evaluations. This presentation describes Boise State’s transition to Blue from a legacy system (while also transitioning support and administration to central IT) and how it presented opportunities to examine and improve many of their practices, while introducing value adds like universal questions.
In this webinar you will learn about the history of course evaluations at Boise State, what led to transition to Blue, learning about the implementation and how the University has embraced it’s new course evaluation tool.
