Bluepulse User Manual
Introduction
Bluepulse is a social feedback platform and a space where students can share their opinions, comments, and concerns privately.
Through the platform, faculty members will be able to ask questions related to the Course Learning Outcomes (CLO) for the students to answer. They will also be able to measure the student’s learning experience and understanding of the course.
The QA&IE team will be responsible for adding the courses and enrolling the students and faculty members to the courses before each semester to ensure easy access.
Moreover, the QA&IE team will ensure that the faculty are well trained on using Bluepulse by providing workshops so that they can guide their students on how to use the platform.
This document will show the faculty and students how to use their Bluepulse accounts.
