What CourseEval HQ is
CourseEval HQ provides online course evaluations integrated with Canvas for campus-wide, division-level, or individual-course use. Users can create standard or department-specific surveys, import surveys in text format, and write custom questions. Administrators can distribute surveys to selected courses or sections, all courses in a term, or a CSV-supplied batch, then monitor setup and completion. The application retrieves terms, courses, and rosters from Canvas and can add survey links, announcements, assignments, and modules to courses. Etudes says responses are anonymous, results go only to designated recipients, and instructors do not directly access results or individual responses. Authorized recipients receive printable PDF reports by email, while term response rates can be downloaded as CSV. Students can complete evaluations in the Canvas student mobile app or a mobile browser in Canvas. Administrators can schedule observers for classroom visits and remove access when the period ends. Plans include 24/7 support, and the free 30-day trial provides complete application access. Annual pricing starts at $1,400 a year for up to 2,000 FTE students; larger listed tiers reach $9,000 a year for up to 30,000 FTE students.
