Tips for Thinking Outside the Blue Box: Do Try This at Home!

In the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's decentralized evaluation management structure, Heather oversees the evaluation process in the College of Arts and Sciences, the largest unit. Meanwhile, Christina manages evaluations in the School of Pharmacy, known for its complexity. Between the two of them, they use almost the entire feature set within Explorance Blue for their course evaluation processes.
In this webinar, Heather and Christina will be sharing some of the more unique and outside-the-box ways that they use features, including Explorance Data Integrity Gateway (DIG), Question Bank (QBank), relationship demographics, triggers, Question Personalization (QP), reports, virtual questions, Dynamic Report Viewers (DRV), and more. They’ll also spend some time comparing their processes and use cases and how that is dictated by circumstances at UNC Chapel Hill or within their specific schools. While some of what they do requires expert knowledge of Explorance Blue, they still highly encourage you to try this at home!
