Saint Louis University Leverages Blue and Bluepulse to Enhance Teaching and Learning

Montreal, Canada – September 9, 2015 – Saint Louis University (SLU) has selected Blue as its powerful course evaluation system to enhance teaching and learning. Along with Blue, the university has also acquired Bluepulse in order to provide improvement suggestions to instructors.

As an institution dedicated to academic excellence, SLU requires a comprehensive solution that can integrate with existing systems, increase accessibility, and provide advanced reporting capabilities. By integrating Blue with the university’s current IT systems, SLU will be able to synchronize data, automate processes, and produce detailed demographic reports. Through Blue and Blackboard Learn™ integration, the institution will benefit from increased participation and engagement by embedding forms and reports directly in the portal.

For added value, Saint Louis University will implement Bluepulse, the adaptive social feedback platform. With the tool, the university will gather daily student insights that instructors can use to continuously improve. By listening to student feedback on an ongoing basis, instructors can implement quick changes and obtain better end-of-term course evaluation results. Leveraging Blue course evaluations and Bluepulse together, SLU will obtain actionable data, help increase student and faculty engagement, and elevate teaching and learning.

Saint Louis University is a Jesuit, Catholic university ranked among the top research institutions in the nation. SLU fosters the intellectual and character development of more than 14,000 students. Founded in 1818, it is the oldest university west of the Mississippi and the second oldest Jesuit University in the United States.
