About

Student Rating of Instructor Surveys (SRIS) play a crucial role in enhancing teaching and learning at West Chester University. Instructors highly appreciate students' candid and valuable input, which the University utilizes to enhance courses and the educational experience as a whole.

To alleviate the cumbersome manual burden of its existing paper SRIS process, West Chester University, in collaboration with faculty, competitively sourced a comprehensive system and selected the Explorance "Blue" cloud platform to conduct student feedback of instructor surveys for teaching effectiveness for the University.

In Spring of 2024, all Student Ratings of Instructor surveys will be online. 

The electronic administration of SRIS will save time for faculty, students, and staff. Nothing about the SRIS survey instrument is changing. The questions will be the same. The only substantive change is the administration method which will be paperless, environmentally sustainable, and easy-to-manage.
