Explorance Blue Empowers Palomar College to Enhance Teaching Effectiveness and Student Outcomes

Montreal, Quebec – September 2025 – Explorance, a global leader in feedback analytics, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Palomar College. The institution has chosen Explorance Blue to unify and modernize its teaching effectiveness processes, strengthening instructional quality, improving the student learning experience, and embedding data-driven continuous improvement across campus. 

Palomar College is focused on empowering faculty and supporting students through a comprehensive strategy that spans teaching, learning, and assessment. The College is investing in faculty professional development, inclusive pedagogy, and innovative teaching modalities, including in-person, hybrid, and online instruction to ensure engaging, effective, and equitable learning experiences across all departments.  

At the same time, Palomar is advancing equity-driven initiatives, technology-enhanced learning, and holistic student support, including tutoring, counseling, and basic needs programs, to strengthen student belonging, close achievement gaps, and improve persistence, retention, and completion rates.  

Historically, Palomar managed course evaluations, peer observations, and faculty self-reflections as separate processes. Each was handled in isolation, creating inefficiencies, manual workload, and limited visibility across data sources. The institution needed a way to unify these processes, strengthen reporting capabilities, and boost student engagement and survey response rates. Blue emerged as the ideal solution to address these challenges by combining multiple feedback mechanisms into a single, streamlined platform. Its advanced reporting and analytics empower faculty and administrators to assess teaching effectiveness more effectively, while its integration with Canvas helps capture student attention and increase participation. 

With Explorance as its partner, Palomar College saw a solution that could unify its teaching effectiveness processes while reducing administrative burden and increasing engagement. The College valued Blue’s ability to consolidate course evaluations, peer observations, and faculty self-reflections into a single, streamlined system, supported by advanced reporting and analytics that drive meaningful insight. Blue’s seamless integration with Canvas further strengthens student participation by making feedback more visible and accessible. Together, these capabilities empower Palomar to advance instructional quality, improve the student learning experience, and embed data-driven accountability.
