Better Futures is a 5,000+ student Multi Academy Trust (BFMAT) sponsored by Coventry University who has engaged with colleges about how best to utilise the relationship to improve the educational experience of the students.
The trust wanted a way to measure student engagement and satisfaction throughout the academic year. Traditional surveys were limited by bias and infrequent data collection. A more dynamic, real-time approach was needed. BFMAT engaged with The Curve to help them explore and prioritise the requirements and feature set of the App.
The Curve designed and built Swaya, a mobile-based pulse survey application. The app sends weekly, randomised engagement questions to students, ensuring diverse responses and reducing bias. By distributing different questions to different students at different times, the system captures authentic engagement data.
Swaya is now successfully deployed and regularly updated, helping Better Futures MAT enhance student engagement strategies.
