This document provides guidance on improving graduate medical education program management through establishing resident files, program files, and a task management list. It outlines setting up resident files with required information organized into tabs, and program files with documentation for accreditation organized into tabs. It also describes how to create a task management list to better track program activities, with suggestions to include annual education committee topics, key accreditation focus areas, and program/coordinator tasks and reminders. The goal is to optimize evaluation of residents and documentation for quality improvement and accreditation requirements.
Collection, Maintenance and Validation of Effective Evidence for Program Asse...Stephen Frezza
Describes methods and tools for maintaining educational assessment information - primarily for program outcomes assessment. This is describing outcomes assessment processes and tools for an ABET-Accredited university undergraduate programs. Discusses direct and indirect evidence use, and how to use these to efficiently validate the program.

Revisiting the Challenges in Aligning RE and V&V: Experiences from the Public...Markus Borg
Paper presented at 1st International Workshop on Requirements Engineering and Testing, Karlskrona, Sweden, 2014.
Successful coordination of Requirements Engineering and Testing (RET) is crucial in large-scale software engineering. If the activities involved in RET are not aligned, effort is inevitably wasted, and the probability of delivering high quality software products in time decreases. Previous work has identified sixteen challenges in aligning RET in a case study of six companies. However, all six case companies selected for the study are active in proprietary software engineering. In this experience report, we discuss to what extent the identified RET alignment challenges apply to the development of a large information system for managing grants from the European Union. We confirm that most of the findings from previous work also apply to the public sector, including the challenges of aligning goals within an organization, specifying high-quality requirements, and verifying quality aspects. Furthermore, we emphasize that the public sector might be impacted by shifting political power, and that several RET alignment challenges are amplified in multi-project environments.
This slide is about academic and administrative audit for the quality control in the educational institutes. it also deals with various management techniques including Kaizen, 5S, etc. This slideshow is useful for the NAAC purpose.
CAPM exam preparation developed for self learning.
Plz don't mind some logo and strikethrough.. they were meant to create fun for myself.
You may join the course from Udemy as I take and enjoy the class from there.

Strategies for Implementing Program Level Assessment through Blackboard OutcomesJeremy Anderson
Presented at Blackboard World 2015 (Bb World 2015).
Faced with increasing needs to provide assessment information to accreditors and to drive continuous program improvement, American International College adopted Blackboard Outcomes. This presentation will focus on strategies for supporting the system to scale with limited resources. We will share our team-based approach that included faculty, administrators, and IT professionals. Also included will be a discussion of moving from subject-specific outcomes measurement to broad-based general education assessment with common rubrics and goals.Speakers: Jeremy Anderson, Manager of Academic Computing; Kaitlin Walsh; Gregory Schmutte; & Anne Stuart, American International College

Developing online courses is only the first step in a much longer process. In this session, we explored how to create a culture to support continuous improvement and looked at new tools to visualize the process.
Building Testing Committees that have the Authority to Create Effective ChangeExamSoft
Incorporation of sound curriculum evaluation measures and related analysis can provide evidence to support changes within the curriculum that close content gaps, as well as support for individual interventions for academically at-risk students as early as possible in the course sequencing, to avoid the prospect of a “too little, too late” response to learning deficits. To promote the process of continual program evaluation and quality improvement, faculty are better defining the data they analyze to drive fine-tuning of curricula, with the ultimate goal of achieving all desired curriculum outcomes. However, many programs lack the assignment of these analysis tasks within their curriculum committee framework, and as a result, changes to testing policy may be implemented without much evidence-based reason, and may be carried out in a way that is irrespective of other curriculum revisions. In best cases, this lack of consistency with the analysis as well as the lack of attention to curriculum impact once these testing policies are implemented results in the lack of any observable increase in desired outcomes like improved pass rates. At worst, this situation results in the “wheels spinning” scenario, where faculty serving on the curriculum committee appear to make random but unrelated policy changes throughout the academic year, with no real clarity about what outcomes they are expecting from these interventions, and no way of accruing data after the fact that can be analyzed for any evidence of improvement.
This webinar will address a common trend that is increasingly being adopted by faculty to avoid this type of scenario: the formulation of a testing committee. The discussion will encompass methods used to evaluate both total program outcome achievement and individual student performance, using methods for both internal and external curriculum evaluation, and will identify how faculty can incorporate consequences associated with students’ scores and other evaluation data within their testing policies that have been shown in research studies to improve outcomes. Another key role of the committee is the design and implementation of all testing-related policies within the curriculum, generally with approval of the overall curriculum committee, but also with input from the student affairs committee, as these testing policies relate to admission, progression, and graduation policies that are generally within the oversight of the student affairs committee. Finally, the testing committee will be described as the regulator of the school’s testing style manual with respect to item creation, editing, and removal of test items from the item bank used for teacher-made exams, based on a systematic review of item analysis data in concert with sound item writing skills designed to produce test items at the application-and-above level within the cognitive taxonomy.
