As the latestaddition to Timecruiser's CampusEngagement(TM) solution portfolio,CruiserEval provides an on-demand, SaaS, online learning evaluation andanalytics system that allows institutions to cost-effectively measure theimpact of their courses, instruction, and student experience -- and improveperformance.

Why Go with SaaS for Course Evaluations?
The conventional, paper-based course evaluation process is costly andlabor-intensive. "Course evaluations are used for faculty reviews, contentimprovement, and the collection of data for making critical and informeddecisions, but when the data are difficult to access, they remain unused,"said Allen Wang, President of Timecruiser. "However, when colleges anduniversities can leverage evaluation data to their advantage by getting theright information to the right people at the right time, they can makebetter decisions sooner."
"Under the outdated Application Service Provider (ASP) model, the providerresells and houses a traditional, local software application in its remotefacility," said Anthony Ma, Timecruiser CIO. "Although the ASP modelrelieves the customer of the operating responsibility, unlike on-demandSaaS solutions, it doesn't eliminate the cost for the acquisition,configuration, deployment and, later on, upgrades of the software andhardware. In most cases, such operations do not have the ability toeffectively scale to accommodate fluctuating usage patterns."
CruiserEval will be available in the first quarter of 2009.
