Feedback when it matters
The genesis of focused feedback
More than a mini survey
Live Formative Feedback with Bluepulse is more than just a quick survey. While many may think that increasing survey frequency is the answer, we are concerned about survey fatigue.
Bluepulse is not a mini survey. It’s an always-on channel where questions, thoughts, ideas and information can be shared in a focused manner. The classroom is always in flux and an always-on channel keeps you in the moment.

Bluepulse gives a voice to students who may not feel comfortable speaking up in class or providing face to face feedback to the instructor. The application is mobile device compatible so both faculty and students have the ability to remain engaged at any time throughout the semester. (…)
Becky Patterson
Exec. Director, Institutional Research & Planning
Bluepulse has definitely reduced the number of surprises we see at the end of semester on course evaluations. It provides real data that faculty can use for their own professional development in addition to their pedagogical improvement.
Taiwo Ande
Assistant Provost for Institutional Analysis and Effectiveness
Student engagement through formative evaluation is an imperative component to retention and success. Receiving in-time feedback with the freedom of anonymity generates pedagogically meaningful relationships between the faculty and student. Bluepulse 2, by Explorance, is the answer for our institution.
