Blue is a digital course evaluation system which will be used at UW–Madison beginning in Fall 2025.
UW–Madison is undergoing a multi-year transition from HelioCampus Assessment and Credentialing to Blue, for digital course evaluations. Some courses will begin using it in Fall 2025, but most courses will be asked to start transitioning to Blue in Spring 2026, with the goal of everyone using the tool by summer 2026.
For more information, see the Course Evaluation Tool Transition Project.
