Course Evaluations

Welcome to Explorance Blue

We are excited to introduce our new course evaluation tool, Explorance Blue. Although adjusting to a new tool can be daunting, ultimately we hope you find using it easier than our home grown tool. This was a change we had to make, because our current system was reaching its end-of-life and could no longer be supported.We greatly appreciate the Course Evaluation Committee's support and help in ensuring we meet the same functionality with the new system, and for helping us test it. We also appreciate the IT team's help in launching the integration of Blue.  

First year faculty, faculty specialists & adjunct faculty must opt-in and be evaluated. Open office hours are scheduled for assistance, with availability to meet in CTE [still on 5th floor LSC] or join via the Teams meeting link. 

Thursday, November 12 from 11:30 - 12:30 -

Thursday, November 19 from 11:30 - 12:30 -

Tuesday, November 24 from 11:30 - 12:30 -


Our Blue partners provided an introduction to Blue on October 8, 2026. The CTE and our Explorance Blue partners shared an online overview of the platform and a firsthand look at its features and functionality.

After our first semester, you will again have the option to copy objectives from previous semesters. In Blue, you will be able to copy objectives and custom questions from similar courses. They will not need to be copies from the same course.
