Resources - Blue by Explorance Student Feedback Surveys on Teaching
Student Feedback Surveys on Teaching are distributed to students enrolled in classes in the Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter semesters. Online Student Feedback Surveys on Teaching are conducted using Blue by Explorance, and all surveys are anonymous. California State University San Marcos implemented Blue by Explorance during the Fall 2024 semester. Blue is a single sign-on enabled, providing faculty with survey response rates in real time, ability to share QR codes to their survey with students, and archive survey reports in one system. Students and faculty can access Blue directly at through Cougar Courses, or the blue button below.
Our office held several info/work sessions for faculty throughout the Fall 2024 semester. Below is a link to a recording from one of the sessions. If you have additional questions, please check out our process guides or contact our office. We are here to help!
