First Online Course Evaluation & Survey Provider to Launch Premier Partnership
Denver, CO – December 3, 2014 – EvaluationKIT, a leader in enterprise online course evaluation and survey software for higher education institutions, has expanded its existing partnership with Instructure to become a premier partner. This makes EvaluationKIT the first company of its kind to be included among this prestigious group of EdTech providers at Instructure’s highest partnership level. Through EvaluationKIT’s turnkey integration with Instructure’s learning management system, Canvas, colleges and universities around the world can easily collect, analyze and make use of valuable student feedback within their institutions.
“Being the first company in our space to become a premier partner signifies the critical role our system plays in helping colleges and universities manage the student feedback process, and is a testament to the great traction we have experienced with Canvas customers adopting our solution,” said Kevin Hoffman, president and CEO of EvaluationKIT. “We are grateful to be a part of this impressive ecosystem and look forward to further collaboration with Instructure, its partners, and the more than 1,000 Canvas customer institutions. Together, our goal is to not only help schools efficiently administer course evaluations, but also to provide valuable data and analytics that assist in managing quality and feed into continuous improvement initiatives.”
Instructure services more than 16 million teachers and students around the world, ranging from community colleges to Ivy League institutions. Its partnership program, which includes more than 100 companies, is designed to connect these users with breakthrough technological resources that can improve the education experience. EvaluationKIT is one of only seven premier partners.
Using a unique mix of Learning Tools Interoperability™ (LTI™) and Canvas API functionality, EvaluationKIT seamlessly integrates with Canvas, automatically notifying a student when they have a survey to take and allowing them to easily access their surveys directly from within Canvas. As well, instructors and administrators can access their own automated reports and analytics directly within Canvas. EvaluationKIT’s turnkey integration functionality includes features so that Canvas can be used as a data source to securely sync all course and user information from Canvas with EvaluationKIT, providing an efficient means for populating this information and for keeping it automatically updated when add/drop enrollment changes are made in the LMS.
“As we continue to connect our users with the tools they need most, partners like EvaluationKIT become critical components of the mix, helping our team and our customers find new ways to improve the education experience as we know it,” said Jared Stein, vice president of research and education at Instructure. “EvaluationKIT’s track record in the industry, the intuitive nature of its online course evaluation solution, and its team’s commitment to innovation make it an ideal fit for our premier partner level.”
