Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis Selects Blue to Power Course Evaluations

Montreal, Canada – June 11, 2015 – Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) has selected Blue to enhance its online course evaluations. Joining fellow institutions Indiana University—Purdue University Columbus, Indiana University Bloomington, and Indiana University South Bend, IUPUI will leverage Blue to improve the teaching and learning experience.

As an institution committed to continuous improvement, IUPUI requires a robust solution that can obtain actionable insights and generate detailed reports. Blue’s native integration with PeopleSoft will enable the institution to synchronize data, automate processes, and track improvement over time. With Blue, IUPUI can fully customize questions, forms, and reports to meet the diverse needs of its stakeholders. Another key deciding factor for the institution was Blue’s ability to integrate with the Canvas learning management system. By embedding course evaluations and reports directly in the portal, IUPUI is set to drive LMS traffic, increase accessibility, and raise engagement.

“We obtained such positive results from the pilot projects that we had to fully implement Blue,” says Howard R. Mzumara, Ph.D., Director of Testing Center at IUPUI. “Our decision was based on Blue’s compatibility with Canvas and other IT systems, the ability to leverage existing resources in collaboration with our partners at the IU Bloomington campus, and Blue’s customization, automation, and advanced reporting features.”

Established in 1969, Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis is Indiana’s premier urban public research university and health sciences campus. Home to over 30,000 students, IUPUI is committed to providing educational opportunities that transform the lives of students, the community, and the world.
