What it is
SmartEvals is web-based course evaluation software for colleges and universities, automating evaluation management and reporting. It supports summative and formative course evaluations, general-purpose surveys, and educational assessments. Administrative dashboards, ERP or SIS data synchronization, preloaded question banks, and automated report distribution support evaluation workflows. Institutions can send email, text, and voice reminders, monitor response rates in real time, and provide mobile access. Reporting covers institutional and nationwide benchmarking, aggregate comparisons, longitudinal trends, text analytics, and demographic analysis. Listed LMS connections include Blackboard Learn and Ultra, Canvas, Moodle, Brightspace, and other systems, with LTI tools; data can also be shared with an ERP, SIS, or homegrown database. Institutions can configure role-based permissions and tailor reminders, forms, and reports. The maker says the hosted application uses US-based primary and failover data facilities meeting SSAE 16 SOC 2 security standards, and that institutions retain ownership and control of their data. A free Lite plan is listed for schools currently using paper; other pricing is available on request.
