Watermark

Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys (formerly EvaluationKIT) is a robust, easy-to-use application designed specifically for administering course, instructor, and program evaluations in a higher education setting.
Some of the purposes for which programs at KUMC currently use Watermark:

  • End-of-semester course, instructor, and GTA evaluations
  • Midterm student surveys
  • Graduating student surveys
  • Program evaluations
  • Student evaluation of hospitals and clinical sites
  • Evaluations of specific program features (simulation training, etc.)

Watermark has several advantages over pencil-and-paper surveys. There's no cost to departments for bubble sheet forms or scanning services and no delay before results are available. Immediately after an evaluation period ends, results and analyses can be accessed by course faculty, program administrators, or other designated parties. Raw survey data is also immediately available. Branching questions are fully supported, as well as custom question sets for courses that meet specific conditions, like online delivery or GTA instruction. Automated reminder emails encourage student participation and increase response rates, which can be monitored in real time.


Watermark features:

  • Deploy surveys through the web or send out email invitations.
  • Send reminder email invitations to only the participants who have not responded.
  • Monitor responses and report data in real time.
  • Immediately share professionally-styled results in PDF, PowerPoint, Word, HTML, or Excel formats.
  • Include branching and conditional questions.
