Case Study Deep Dive at UNLV - Leveraging Deep Integration to Double Response Rates and Increase Student Engagement
At the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV), the work continues to improve the course evaluation process for students and faculty to better leverage the data collected to serve our students. UNLV completed a deep integration between Explorance Blue and Canvas in 2023, which greatly increased the accessibility of course evaluations for students.
Due to the deep integration, the response rates for Fall 2023 doubled in a year-over-year comparison. As the institution transitions from a decentralized approach to a more uniform one, we will share how the deep integration increased student participation and changed submission patterns, and how this information is being used to better inform UNLV’s course evaluation policy and procedures and broader campus discourse.
