New Features

  • PI Classification – Performance Indicators (PI) can be designed to measure breath or depth. In either case, the question remains on the roll-up data from each FCAR at course level being used to compute the aggregate average of a PI. EvalTools® 6 gives you a greater flexibility in classifying PI into three domains according to Bloom’s Taxonomy that applies to different levels of courses.
  • Course-level Classification – In addition to PI Classification, if your PI definition focuses on breath, then course-level classification will give you another way of assessing your PI. The course-level classifications are: Introduction, Re-enforced, and Master/Assessed-Level.
  • Major-Separation Assessment – This is the most advanced feature in outcomes assessment. You could refine and separate a class that has multiple-major students in meeting their corresponding programs’ outcomes. This feature is particularly useful for a department having multiple programs that have common courses in meeting different sets of student outcomes. EvalTools® is the ONLY toolset that has this feature.
  • Evaluator Site – To make life easier for the ABET evaluator during a visit to your campus, EvalTools® 6 rolls up a complete electronic objective evidence site for the ease of examining the evidence extracted from the course portfolio in EvalTools® 6. NO MORE room full of hard copies of evidence. This is the first of the kind feature deployed at Gannon University for its ECE department’s 2017 ABET visit. Go Green completely! The department has achieved a flawless accreditation.
