Umm Al-Qura University
The department is using a software package called CLOSO marketed by www.smart-accredit.com. The department decided to use a software package to achieve the following goals:
a) To cut down the instructor’s time and effort in preparing the course file and data collection.
b) To increase the reliability of the collected data.
c) 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 the data files from the instructors.
d) To obtain faculty’s opinions on a number of issues that may help improve the CLO and SO attainments.
e) To identify any course that has an issue and to take corrective measures.
f) To enable the chairman of the department, the ABET coordinator to re-view the SO attainments and “Loop-closing” in each semester.
g) To maintain a unified database for syllabi of all courses.
h) To make the assessment and evaluation system highly sustainable.
The software CLOSO was licensed because it satisfied all the above requirements. The software has been extensively used by the instructors in preparing the course
files and by the ABET coordinator in getting data for the SSR (Self Study Report) submitted to ABET
The details of the software are available at the following link of the Software developer’s site:
