Surveys & Forms
Collect what your campus needs to know. Run satisfaction surveys after orientation, launch research surveys for a dissertation study, and take equipment or room requests through forms.
Campus-wide surveys, powered by BlueX replace the sprawl with one institution-wide platform. Consolidate your campus feedback while empowering faculty, staff, students and researchers to listen at scale. Surveys are already happening on your campus, on tools too complex for their purpose or on free accounts with personal logins.

Everyone on your campus has something they need to ask. Most of them give up, guess, or open a free account somewhere you can't see. With BlueX, central teams set the governance guardrails. Faculty, staff, students and research teams get the ability to launch their own surveys in minutes.
Build knowledge checks, micro-assessments, and learning reflections directly into the materials. Drop a knowledge check into a reading, a reflection at the end of a section, a live poll the class watches update as it answers.

Create better student experiences by gathering feedback at the right moments and acting on it quickly. Launch timely surveys across orientation, student accommodation, and services, and use confidentiality settings to help students feel comfortable being honest.

Student governments, societies and project teams get their own workspace to build and launch surveys, forms and newsletters in minutes. They move at their own pace, within the rules you've set.

Every researcher gets the same capability, not a handful of licensed seats. Anonymous links, consent gates, and confidentiality thresholds are applied by the platform rather than by the analyst, a strength when the protocol reaches the ethics board. Validated instruments keep their exact wording, labels and numeric codes.

QR codes at shuttle stops, gyms and cafeteria tables catch facilities issues as they appear. The same tool covers game day, catering, recreation and student sport programs, and confidential student-athlete feedback on facilities and support.

Most institutions choose between letting everyone survey and keeping control of how it's done. BlueX does both. Faculty, staff, students and researchers build their own surveys on a document-style canvas with media and interactive content, while workspaces, publishing approval and confidentiality thresholds keep every survey consistent with your institution's standards.

Build surveys, newsletters, and teaching tools in one flexible editor. Write like a document, then add questions, media, and interactive content wherever a response belongs.

Collect what your campus needs to know. Run satisfaction surveys after orientation, launch research surveys for a dissertation study, and take equipment or room requests through forms.

Give every campus update a way to answer back. Send branded newsletters with built-in questions, collect policy acknowledgements, and publish blogs that close with a quick poll.

See what students understand before the exam. Knowledge checks fit inside a reading, formative feedback lands mid-term, and live polls update on screen as your class answers.
With BlueX you replace fragmented departmental survey tools with one governed system. Workspaces mirror the institution, approval can be required before surveys are published, and confidentiality controls are enforced by the platform rather than left to individual users or manual committees.

BlueX supports campus-wide SSO provisioning and roles, audit logs, anonymous mode, data residency, and centrally managed administration. It is designed for institutions that need strong oversight of who can access surveys, how data is handled, and how confidentiality is protected across the campus.

With BlueX, one organization-level license covers your whole campus: unlimited users, unlimited surveys, no per-response fees. Budget stops shaping who gets to ask questions and how often. For institutions that have watched survey costs rise with every renewal and every response, the licensing conversation becomes a one-time decision.

Explorance invests in meeting the highest accessibility standards for WCAG 2.2 (AA) and Section 508 to ensure students, faculty, and other stakeholders can fully participate in evaluations and access the resulting reports, regardless of disabilities and impairments.

Explorance's in-house Customer Success and Support teams partner closely with your assigned account managers to deliver proactive, empathetic, and solutions-driven assistance whenever you need it. At every step of the way, you have a global support team spanning multiple time zones always ready to help you achieve your institutional goals.

Any other questions?
The middle nobody else occupies in the academic survey space: self-serve authoring for everyone, with governance built in. Students, teachers, administrators and researchers all build their own surveys; central teams set who can publish, what needs approval, and how confidentiality is enforced.
Yes, if you want one governed listening setup across both formal programs and self-serve surveying. Blue runs the centrally owned, methodology-driven programs like course evaluations, institutional research, and accreditation. BlueX is for everyone else, faculty, staff, students, and researchers who need to run their own surveys and forms within institutional guardrails.
So if your institution already uses Blue, adding BlueX makes sense when you want to extend that same governance model across the rest of campus instead of letting departments spin up separate tools. If the survey is part of a formal institutional program, use Blue. If it’s decentralized and self-serve, use BlueX.
BlueX gives your whole campus one place to ask questions, with governance built in from the start. Central teams get the controls they need, including workspaces that mirror the institution, approval before publishing, and confidentiality thresholds enforced by the platform, not left to individual users. At the same time, faculty, staff, students, and researchers get a self-serve tool they can actually use, all under one organization-wide license with unlimited users and surveys.
And the reality is: most campus surveys do not need Qualtrics. Mid-term check-ins, student services feedback, departmental forms, departmental forms, institutional surveys, and the large majority of academic research surveys can all run in BlueX. Qualtrics still fits a narrower set of specialist market-research needs, but that is not what most institutions are running every day. If you have specific research, compliance, or workflow requirements, reach out. We’ll help you map what belongs in BlueX today, what’s on the roadmap, and whether any specialist use cases need a different tool.
Because every guardrail disappears with them. No approval before publishing, no enforced confidentiality thresholds, no record of what was asked in your institution's name, nothing that survives the person who built it leaving. BlueX gives people the same speed with workspaces that mirror the institution, approval settings inherited down, and audit logs underneath.
Organization-level license, unlimited users, unlimited surveys, no per-response fees.
The opposite. Today's sprawl is what losing control looks like, surveys running on accounts you can't see or audit. Letting everyone in, on one governed platform is how you get visibility back. Approval before publishing, confidentiality thresholds enforced at collection and again on shared reports, central administration and audit logs are native.
The whole stack, the departmental Qualtrics seats, the course-level tools nobody vetted, and the free accounts nobody can audit. One license, one SSO, one support relationship, one confidentiality model.
Yes, BlueX makes consolidation practical with historical data import, so you can bring over existing surveys and the data collected rather than rebuilding from scratch.
