The Ohio State University Leverages Explorance MLY to Amplify Student Voice and Enhance Teaching Excellence

Montreal, Quebec – July 2025 Explorance, a global leader in feedback analytics, is proud to announce that The Ohio State University (OSU) has integrated Explorance MLY into its suite of feedback solutions to advance the quality and impact of instructor evaluations. This strategic adoption supports OSU’s commitment to engaging the student voice, empowering instructors, and fostering collaboration across its academic community. 

In response to the growing importance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in higher education, Ohio State sought to continuously improve its course evaluations process by incorporating more qualitative, open-ended questions that capture richer insights into the student learning experience. A successful pilot program revealed a significant increase in the quantity and quality of student comments, highlighting the need for an innovative tool like MLY. 

OSU’s long-standing partnership with Explorance, dating back to 2017 with its adoption of Explorance Blue, made the decision to acquire MLY a key step forward in its commitment to teaching excellence. The university selected Explorance products for their robust reporting functionality, seamless experience for students, instructors, and report viewers, and the high-quality client support that has become synonymous with Explorance. 

“We are very excited to have acquired MLY, which will be an invaluable tool for our campus community,” said Anne Grunden, Program Manager, Student Evaluation of Instruction. “With MLY, we look forward to providing instructors with high-quality feedback analysis and actionable insights that they can use to foster and innovate the teaching and learning experience.”
