Eval25 vs IASystem

Eval25 is a web evaluation system for higher-education institutions, serving administrators, instructors, and students. Institutions can create custom questions for courses, instructors, training sessions, classroom spaces, and other subjects. Students complete evaluations on computers, smartphones, or tablets, including feedback about physical and virtual spaces. Administrators track response activity in real time, send reminders, and offer incentives such as early access to grades. Reports can be customized, shared, exported as Excel or XML, and printed as PDFs. An LTI integration lets users open Eval25 from a learning-management-system link, with credentials required for installation. The system can import space-satisfaction data into the 25Live scheduling system. CollegeNET says Eval25 encrypts sensitive information in transit and data at rest, is SOC 2 and PCI-DSS compliant, and undergoes yearly audits plus quarterly external network scans. Space satisfaction, inter-institutional benchmarking, and additional 25Live capabilities are described as future features. Pricing is available through an account manager, which also provides product information and demonstrations.

IASystem is a course evaluation system for colleges and universities assessing teaching and learning. It supports online and paper evaluations, with administrators able to customize forms across an institution, college, or department. Instructors can add course-specific scaled or open-ended questions. Students can access evaluations from Canvas, Blackboard, and other LMS applications through an LTI tool; a web API supports campus integrations such as displaying evaluation links in a student portal. Reports include course summaries, combined summaries, administrative high/low and ratings summaries, survey lists, and data exports. Institution-specific reliability estimates, item-level deciles, and regression analyses help interpret and adjust evaluation results. IASystem uses HTTPS, role-based permissions, and server-side processing for calculations, validations, and reports. Reports and extracts omit student names, IDs, and login information. A one-term pilot license is listed as free. Annual rates are per enrolled student, from $1.59 a year for institutions with 20,000 or more FTE students; enrollment categories list a 5,404 USD one-time setup fee. Paper forms and scanning cost extra, with costs depending on usage.
