How do I add questions to the standard evaluation form in Blue?
The ability to customize questions (previously known as question personalization), is an optional feature in Blue, and allows instructors to add their own questions to the bottom of a standard course evaluation form.
You may not change or delete any of the existing standard questions.
Opening the customization page
To open the customization page, click on the title of the course in your Blue task list.
Previewing standard questions
To preview the standard form questions before you customize, use the view drop down list to select 'View All'. To view only the customizable questions, select 'View Customizable'. Alternatively, you may click 'Preview' (just to the left of the blue 'Update' button) to show the complete form, including student instructions and Likert scales.
Typing in new questions
To add questions, click 'Customize' to open the question editor. Type over the question prompt to customize as you wish. When you are finished, click the 'x' in the top right hand corner to exit the question editor box. Your new question(s) are now included in the list. Click 'Preview' to preview the form - which now includes your questions at the end. When you are ready, click 'Submit' to submit the questions (or 'Update' if you have returned to update the questions).
Note: The questions must be submitted (not just saved) in order to be included on the student forms.
Copying questions
If you have already added questions for another course in the current term, you can copy those questions over to another course. Click on the 'copy' icon (just to the right of the blue 'Update' button) to open the copy window. Click in the search box to reveal the courses that are available for copy. You can choose from current courses. You may (not always) also be able to choose from previous courses. Click on the desired course to select it, and then click 'Copy' to copy the questions. Click 'No - Cancel' or 'Yes - I'm sure' when the prompt is displayed. The copied question(s) will be displayed. Click 'Preview' to preview the form - which now includes your questions at the end. You also have the option to 'Include' or 'Exclude' some of the copied questions. Make sure that the questions you wish to include on the form are marked as 'Included'. When you are ready, click 'Submit' to submit the questions (or 'Update' if you have returned to update the questions).
Note: The questions must be submitted (not just saved) in order to be included on the student forms.
Notes
You are NOT required to add questions.
The option to add questions is available at some, but not all, of the schools across the university.
If there are multiple instructors on a single course, they may each add their own questions.
The option to add questions expires at the deadline.
Note: The questions must be submitted (not just saved) in order to be included on the student forms.
