EVAL is online polling software, developed by the computer centre of the Utrecht School of the Arts. The first versions were used in 1998 to perform surveys amongst students, regarding quality of courses and educational policy. The software has been completely rewritten twice (in 2000 and 2005), resulting in a more versatile and flexible version.
