BlueX’s Most Helpful Features

Embed Canvas Data into Surveys

Once set up, BlueX will auto-provision surveys with the correct module,
course, and respondent information from the Canvas LMS. Instructors
will log into BlueX and find all course information and current students
waiting as pre-populated options at the survey dispatch stage.
Additional segmentation is supported with no need for manual
importation.

Upload .Qti with Existing Questions

BlueX is fully compatible with Canvas’s .QTI files. Instructors who have
created extensive surveys in Canvas will not need to recreate any
surveys. Existing survey files can be exported and uploaded to BlueX,
complete with existing questions / response options and utilized just as
before. BlueX supports the full import and export of .QTI files.

A Free-form and Familiar Editor

BlueX’s straight-forward survey editing tools are as simple to use as a
standard word-processing program. Editing surveys within BlueX is like
editing a document: offering freedom, flexibility, but also familiarity.
There's no need for additional or special training.

Leverage Ready-to-Use Templates

BlueX makes constructing a survey, a newsletter, a form, or any other
format simple with an extensive range of pre-made templates. This
enables instructors to break free from the traditional number-based
surveying, reaching students with more dynamic forms that stimulate
more engagement. Logic is available as needed.

Utilize Popular Question Types

BlueX provides a ready bank of popular question types for any kind of
survey. These include multiple-choice, matrix table, scale and slider,
ranking order, and more. This ensures that instructors can build any
kind of survey they need, with versatility enabling straight-forward or
more advanced surveys.

Better Overall Survey Management

BlueX opens the door to better oversight, management, and
standardization of surveying across your whole institution. Unifying
surveying in a single tool, BlueX’s security, privacy, and accessibility
makes it an ideal choice for an institution seeking a more
comprehensive surveying policy.
