As you prepare for the academic year, EvaluateUR is excited to share information about a new resource and reminders about requesting existing variants.

NEW: Student Open Access
Too busy to build EvaluateUR into your course or program? Point your students to it directly. Student Open Access (https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/estudent/index.html) is set up and run by students themselves — no faculty or program coordination required on your end.

Once a student enrolls, weekly messages go out automatically prompting them to identify the knowledge and workplace skills they're drawing on, and to record their thoughts and examples as they go. By the end of the term they have their own written record to pull from when they're applying for jobs, graduate programs, and other opportunities.

Student Open Access is free and available now for Fall 2026. It works well for students in research experiences that fall outside a formal program, or anywhere you'd like students building academic self-awareness without adding to your own workload.

Submit requests for Fall 2026
Now is the ideal time to submit requests for fall quarter or semester. All are available at no cost.

E-CURE (https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/cure/index.html) — options include a student-only scored version and a version for shorter-duration research projects.
E-Internship (https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/internship/index.html) — for academic year internships.
E-Compete (https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/ecompete/index.html) — for Baja SAE and other engineering/design competitions. E-Compete can be adapted as new competitions come up; if you have a team entering one and want to work out the specific outcomes, email me directly.

Questions?
We are happy to talk through which variant fits your needs: singerjk@buffalostate.edu. Our videos (https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/method/videos.html) are also a good thing to pass along to students or colleagues who are new to the method.

Thank you!

Jill Singer
Developer, the EvaluateUR Method

Have you used E-CURE for a course in the past and are planning on using it again this fall in the same course? Our new 'Start a New Cohort' feature allows you to re-use your existing dashboard for the new group of students. No need to fill out a request form and wait for activation. Just click the 'Start a New Cohort' button at the top of your existing dashboard. You'll be prompted to answer a few questions about the timing of your course and then your dashboard will be automatically reset and ready for you to enter the new group of students.

If you're using E-CURE in a new course, with a different course name or number, please fill out the full request form so that we can track things correctly on the back end: https://serc.carleton.edu/evaluateur/cure/request.html

Also, if you've been using a dashboard with students over the summer, now is a good time to download your full set of student data so you'll have it going forward. Remember, student data is removed from the system automatically one year after a cohort of student is activated. So save your data now while it's still top of mind.
