Institutional evaluation considerations
Use institution-specific demonstrations and written documentation to evaluate whether the solution fits your campus systems and workflows. The questions below are an independent purchasing framework, not claims that the vendor has particular features.
- Which functions are included in the standard subscription versus add-on modules?
- What integrations exist with student information, identity and analytics systems?
- What implementation, migration and staff training commitments are required?
- What security, privacy, accessibility and student-data practices can be documented?
- What are the full licensing, support, renewal and exit terms?
