Conclusion
• The use of technology makes it easy to develop, track, share, and documents data more efficiently.
• It eliminates the redundancy in data collection, analysis and presentation by allowing the users to link outcomes to all related goals.
• It allows each unit coordinator to have control over their unit and the Dean to have access to all units.
• It allows the unit coordinator to assign a section to another individual to complete.
• It allows uploading the supporting documents to the assessment plan, which can also be shared with the Dean who has access to all data.
