Description
Blue is a powerful survey tool designed to streamline the process of collecting and analyzing student evaluations of teaching. It allows for easy customization of surveys to meet the specific needs of colleges and departments. With Blue, instructors can conveniently access both current and past evaluation results and send reminders to students to complete their surveys. Students can complete these evaluations from any device, ensuring maximum participation and data collection. To preserve student anonymity, instructors will only receive evaluation reports if five or more students are enrolled in a class and at least one student responds.

Security
Blue evaluations at Ohio University are always anonymous. Response thresholds are also in place to further protect student anonymity. Instructors receive evaluation reports only if five or more students are enrolled in their class and at least one student completes the evaluation, to preserve student anonymity.
The Ohio University Information Security Office strives to educate and empower the University community to appropriately manage risks and protect OHIO’s information and systems. This effort is facilitated through policies, standards, and information security risk management program, as well as other tools and guidance that are provided to the University community. This modern approach creates a safe computing environment in which the University community can teach, learn, and conduct research.
