PROVIEW: HISTORY/SOFTWARE
Connie Buhr
Proview
PROVIEW is an in-house interactive academic program review and assessment module.
The program review process has become more relevant and collaborative, bringing together program faculty, the assessment committee and administration.
This has resulted in improved communication, collegiality and better data-informed decisions for the college's programs.
