Overview

Blue is the course and instructor evaluation system used at Tufts. Each year, the evaluation data needs to be collected, processed and transmitted to two systems: Symplectic Elements (SoE instructor and course data) and Faculty Success (A&S instructor and course data). Additionally, all the ASE data and Fletcher data is typically consumed in a tableau dashboard.

To facilitate this process, a workflow has been created that incorporates the following:

• AWS Lambda, for the initial fetching and parsing of Blue data

• Denodo, for data virtualization and preparation

• Snaplogic, for trasmitting the data to Elements and Activity Insight
