Ivy Tech Community College Implements Explorance Blue to Drive Feedback Automation and Student Engagement

Montreal, Quebec – July 2025 –  Explorance, a global leader in feedback analytics, is pleased to announce a new partnership with Ivy Tech Community College. The institution has implemented Explorance Blue to strengthen its feedback process, with the goal of improving the student experience and survey response rates, enhancing system integration at scale, and enabling actionable feedback for instructional improvement. 

Ivy Tech Community College was seeking to replace its course evaluation system in order to better streamline processes, reduce manual work, and improve survey reliability. The institution recognized that automating the feedback process with Blue and integrating it with key platforms like Banner, Canvas, and Tableau would lead to faster and more accurate reporting.  

Another key priority was to improve survey response rates, particularly in groups where participation had dropped as low as 6%. Ivy Tech selected Blue because it is accessible, mobile-friendly, and capable of engaging students through various channels. With Blue, the institution aims to generate actionable feedback for instructional improvement by enabling faculty, Chairs, Deans, and Chancellors to make meaningful use of student feedback with tailored reports. 

With over two decades of experience supporting institutions in automating and enhancing their course evaluation processes, Explorance stood out to Ivy Tech Community College as a proven leader in delivering scalable, reliable solutions. A major factor in the college’s decision was Blue’s ability to seamlessly integrate with core campus systems such as Banner, Canvas, and Tableau. Ivy Tech also emphasized the flexibility and robustness of the platform, along with Explorance’s clear long-term vision and high-touch engagement model, which positioned the company as a trusted partner rather than a typical vendor.
