Blackboard Evaluate (Faculty) - Downloading and Saving Course Evaluation Reports

Before You Begin

SIUE is transitioning from Anthology Course Evaluations to Blackboard Evaluate. Download any course evaluation reports you want to keep for annual reviews, promotion and tenure dossiers, accreditation activities, or personal records. Recommended reports to save:

• Course Evaluation Summary Reports
• Individual Course Reports
• Student Comment Reports
• Trend Analysis Reports
• Any reports previously used for annual reviews, promotion and tenure, or accreditation documentation

Save a Report as a PDF (Recommended)

1. Log in to the Anthology Course Evaluations faculty portal.
2. Locate the Course Evaluations Summary Report.
3. Select the evaluation term you want.
4. Click the report you wish to review.
5. Click the Print button in the upper-right corner of the report page.
6. In the print dialog, select Save as PDF (Chrome/Edge) or Microsoft Print to PDF (Windows).
7. Click Save, choose a location on your computer, and save the file.

Suggested File Naming

Use a consistent naming pattern so reports are easier to find later:

CourseEval_Term_CourseNumber_Year.pdf

Example: CourseEval_IS101_Fall2025.pdf

Download Multiple Reports

Repeat the PDF export process for each academic term, course section, Trend Analysis report, and any special reports used for review processes. Organize the files in a dedicated folder structure:

• Course Evaluations
  • Fall 2024
  • Spring 2025
  • Fall 2025
  • Spring 2026

If available to you:

1. Log in to the Faculty Experience.
