Civitas Learning Student Impact Platform vs HelioCampus Course Evaluations & Surveys

Civitas Learning Student Impact Platform brings institutional data, predictive analytics, AI assistance, and workflows together to support student and institutional outcomes. It builds institution-specific models for persistence, graduation, engagement, thriving, grades, and career outcomes, retraining them each term. Student Success Analytics surfaces risk factors, supports outreach prioritization, and provides student profiles. Course and Enrollment Analytics forecasts course demand and monitors it during registration; Initiative and Program Analysis examines outcomes across student groups. The platform integrates with more than 100 systems and reads from existing systems, then writes actions and results back without replacing the SIS or LMS. Advising tools include case management, shared notes, alerts, outreach, degree planning, registration, scheduling, and a native student mobile app. Partnerships include a named Strategic Director, team enablement and training, and refreshed managed models. The annual platform subscription price depends on institution size, scope, and integrated systems; pricing is on request.

HelioCampus Course Evaluations & Surveys helps U.S. colleges and universities create, schedule, deploy, and analyze evaluations and surveys for institutional feedback. Surveys can be organized at college, department, or institution level using customizable hierarchical templates and question libraries, including dynamic questions based on Course Learning Outcomes. Course evaluations include student, instructor, and general course types, scheduled at the beginning, midpoint, or end of a term. Automated notifications can go to students and instructors, and students can complete evaluations through their learning management system. Integrations support multiple LMS connections through LTI and native APIs, including Blackboard, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle. Student course evaluations may be anonymous; instructor evaluations cannot. AI sentiment analysis supports bulk review, but HelioCampus must enable it and provision access through role-based access. Participants need a platform account and institutional single sign-on. The maker says it is FERPA compliant and lists ISO 27001:2013 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications. Pricing is on request.
