Why Use CLOSO to Prepare Course Files?

The department is using a software package called CLOSO marketed by www.smart-accredit.com to achieve the following goals:

  1. To cut down the instructor’s time and effort in preparing course file and data collection.
  2. To increase the reliability of collected data.
  3. To allow error-free processing of large amount of data and thus enable the department to analyze and evaluate all courses within a week after obtaining course files from the instructors.
  4. To obtain faculty opinion on a number of issues that may help improve the CLO and SO attainments.
  5. To identify course(s) having issue(s) and to take corrective measures.
  6. To enable the chairman of the department and the ABET coordinator to review the SO attainments and “Loop-closing” in each semester.
  7. To maintain a unified database for syllabi of all courses.
  8. To make the assessment and evaluation system highly sustainable.

Since CLOSO satisfies all the above requirements, it has been extensively used by the instructors in preparing course files and by the ABET coordinator in getting data for ABET SSR.
