Watermark

Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys is a purpose-built platform designed exclusively for higher education institutions to streamline the collection, analysis, and reporting of student feedback on courses and instructors. The software enables administrators and faculty to create fully customizable surveys and course evaluations, automate their deployment, and gather responses across multiple channels — including smartphones and major learning management systems like Canvas, Blackboard, D2L Brightspace, and Moodle — ensuring students can engage with evaluations wherever they already spend their time. Robust reporting tools give academic leaders access to prebuilt and interactive reports that surface participation rates, instructor comparisons, and longitudinal trends, transforming raw feedback into actionable insights for data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement. The platform also automates reminder communications to maximize response rates and distributes results directly to faculty through an intuitive reporting dashboard, significantly reducing administrative burden and turnaround time compared to traditional evaluation methods. Trusted by over 1,700 colleges and universities, Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys is best suited for mid-sized to large higher education institutions, serving administrators responsible for institutional assessment, accreditation, and quality assurance, as well as academic managers and faculty seeking timely, reliable feedback to improve teaching effectiveness and student outcomes.
