When Jelmer Brüggemann made major changes to a course he gave, he wanted to know what the students thought. We present four videos in which teachers and students describe how they work with course evaluation and the Evaliuate system.

Improvements to Evaliuate

Working with course evaluations in Evaliuate has become easier. A new version of the questionnaire tool in Evaliuate, Survey&Report, provides advanced functions that, among other things, make it easier to use free-text questions and analyse the results. New instruction videos and manuals show how to use the functions.

To increase student numbers at LiU

Reception activities that engage many

The new students will soon be arriving at LiU to be met by the “best reception activities in Sweden”. It is, however, important that it is not just the mentors and student unions who support and interact with the new students: the reception activities are university-wide events that engage everyone at LiU.
