Course evaluation at universities: managed centrally, used campus-wide.

A single online survey for all courses. Students pick their course from a course list or arrive through a link or QR code per course. Invitations and reminders go out on fixed dates, and you share the report for each course by link.

Centrally, the quality assurance office or dean's office sets up one survey, the course list and the sending schedule. Invitations and reminders then go out automatically on fixed dates. Across the campus, each instructor sees their own report live in the browser, through a link the central office shares once. The central office keeps the overall view with filters.

For a fully digital course evaluation, online survey software like QUESTIONSTAR works well: templates, one survey for many courses, access codes, reports per instructor by link and Office export. If paper forms with scanning, course import from your student information system or automatic report delivery to instructors are part of your process, evasys is designed for that.

Yes, with the "Anonymize IDs" setting: the report shows results per course only from 10 fully completed questionnaires, and courses with fewer responses stay empty. Answers to questions you mark as private are visible only to authorized persons, such as data protection officers; they are stored separately. You don't have to ask for personal details at all, and in very small courses it's better to skip demographic questions too. Agree on access and purpose with your data protection officer and staff representatives.

Yes. Students receive personal links or enter a personal code at the QR code, so each person responds only once. With the "Anonymize IDs" setting, no response can be linked to a person, not even by the university. The setting can't be reversed once applied.

Not by email. In QUESTIONSTAR, you set up the report per course once, even before the start, and share it by link. The instructor then sees their results live in the browser as soon as responses come in. If needed, you export the report centrally as Word, PowerPoint, Excel or PDF.

Not directly. QUESTIONSTAR collects responses online, on smartphones and by QR code, with no scanning process. You can photograph individual paper forms, for example from a small seminar, and have your own AI transfer them into the survey through the MCP server. With a few dozen forms, that becomes a cost question for your AI usage; with hundreds, it isn't worth it. Check with your data protection officer in advance whether scans may be sent to an AI service. If paper forms are a fixed part of your process, evasys is the right solution.

Not through a ready-made connector. You upload course lists as a file, for example as an export from your student information system. You pass data on via REST API, webhooks, n8n, Zapier or file export. Single sign-on (university SSO or SAML) is available for the QUESTIONSTAR user accounts of survey authors, not for respondents; university SSO (eduGAIN) is available from CHAIR on request and included in CAMPUS.

In three cases: for paper and hybrid forms with scanning, for automatic report delivery to instructors and deans' offices, and for connecting student information systems and learning platforms (course import via CSV, XML or from the student information system, Moodle, Canvas and Blackboard via LTI). evasys has been used for course evaluation at many universities for decades. QUESTIONSTAR collects responses online only and shares reports by link. Some universities run both tools side by side: evasys for central course evaluation, QUESTIONSTAR for research, mid-term evaluations and live voting. For the point-by-point comparison, see Alternative to evasys.

All survey and analysis features are included in every plan, including FREE, the free plan with 50 responses per survey. Paid plans have unlimited responses. Plans differ in organizational features such as Whitelabel, user management and SSO, and in the monthly email quota. You can extend the quota for a fee, or send the personal links with your own mailing tool. One survey with filters for all courses counts as one active survey. Universities can run course evaluation on any Academic plan (STUDENT, RESEARCHER, CHAIR, CAMPUS) or on the FREE plan. Prices and eligibility are on the pricing page.
