Course Evaluations Overview
About Course Evaluations
Course Evaluations allow organizations to evaluate the quality of teaching sessions to determine strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities to improve student experience over time. This includes both feedback on specific courses as well as feedback on specific instructors. Evaluations can be distributed via email or displayed within your learning management system (LMS).
Within Course Evaluations you can upload students and instructors to your directories, create evaluations for individual courses in your organization, and distribute these evaluations to students from your directory. Evaluations can be distributed manually, or can be automated to distribute on a regular basis.
You can also connect your Qualtrics account to your Learning Management System (LMS) software. This gives you the ability to embed course evaluations directly within your learning management site.
Accessing Course Evaluations
Course Evaluations can be accessed from the login screen after entering your Qualtrics credentials, or from the app switcher menu once you are logged in. See App Switcher for more information on this menu.
Navigating Course Evaluations
There are 3 main tabs within Course Evaluations:
- Evaluations: Create new evaluations, view existing evaluations, and send evaluation reminders.
- Directories: Upload and manage instructors and students, and view and manage courses.
Qtip: You can set up an SFTP connection to automatically import student and instructor data into Course Evaluations.
- Settings: View and manage options that apply to all course evaluations in your organization. You can also connect your Qualtrics account with your Learning Management System (LMS) software, edit how the evaluations portal will appear to your students, and give instructors the ability to create their own questions.
