Experience data
Add context to student feedback data
Don’t make decisions without the full picture. We often look at direct feedback given by students as a way to understand their feelings and expectations. What can be inferred from what’s already known? Blue takes your metadata, including demographic and behavioral data, and further qualify your student feedback, giving you more context to better support your decisions.
Machine learning
Find the deeper meaning
Get in-depth analysis of your open-ended student comments collected from evaluations and surveys with Blue Machine Learning (BlueML). Traditionally, institutions do not have the right tools in place to leverage this type of feedback, which can help develop a greater understanding of your students. Make sense of qualitative student feedback by having it categorized and understand your students' underlying feelings.

Becky Patterson
Exec. Director, Institutional Research & Planning
Explorance has a solid piece of software that does more than one thing. Any company can create software to do a survey, but that’s not where the true value is. The true value is in a complete integration: with in-house data, with the student information system, and then being able to produce good reports from all that data together.
