TracDAT Information

About TracDAT: TracDAT is a software package that assists with the management of the assessment-based portion of undergraduate academic program review (UAPR). The software does not allow you to document everything that the UAPR guidelines request. It does however; assist you in the management of the assessment process itself. TracDAT allows you to enter information on your program, including your assessment plan, program outcomes, assessment methods, evidence/data measuring those outcomes, data utilization/decisions made, and follow-up into the next cycle of assessment. CUPR and UGA do not require that programs use TracDAT for their UAPR processes or reports. More information about the TracDAT software package, view the product description provided by NuVentive.

Why this Product? Faculty and administrators are interested in identifying resources that promote engagement in the assessment-based program review process. While no software is perfect, TracDAT is a tool that can help faculty stay “on top” of the assessment process. If used to its full capability, TracDAT will help faculty document the decisions they make after evaluating outcome findings. It will serve as a reminder of results that need to be addressed in the following years, and it will provide a way to document a program’s successes. TracDAT will also help faculty understand how their
outcomes match to accreditor, college, and institutional goals. Likewise, the institution and college will be able to understand how well they are meeting their goals.
