ASE says these innovative systems are designed to enhance the accreditation process and improve user experience for educators, administrators and employers alike. This new online accreditation management system will introduce a range of features to streamline the accreditation process and simplify operations for all stakeholders involved.
“The ASE Education Foundation remains committed to providing the best tools and resources to support the education community,” says Mike Coley, president of the ASE Education Foundation. “These new systems will significantly enhance the accreditation process, offering a more seamless and efficient experience for educators, administrators and employers alike.”
ASE says key features of the system include:
- Online documentation storage: all documentation will be stored online, allowing evaluation teams to review materials ahead of onsite visits.
- Guidance and support: step-by-step guidance, sample forms and short informative videos to assist users throughout the process.
- Progress saving: users can save their progress at any point and resume later.
- Simplified workflows: streamlined documentation requirements and workflows tailored for different roles.
- Survey tools: robust tools for surveying employer needs and collecting feedback from current students and program graduates.
In addition, the new system also is designed to offer several key benefits:
- Streamlined transitions: maintain all documentation for easy access when new instructors or administrators join the school.
- Simplified staff updates: easily update contact information for school staff.
- Easy payment options: convenient payment methods, including purchase orders or credit cards.
- Quick documentation access: fast access to all previously submitted documentation.
- Reduced time and effort: significant reductions in time, effort and confusion for staff involved in the process.
In conjunction with the accreditation management system, the ASE Education Foundation will also be launching an updated website. ASE says the new website will feature a sleek, modern design and user-friendly interface with easy navigation; an updated school locator tool with more search options; industry partner connections with links to partners’ training and employment websites; a simplified streamlined resource page and easy access to weekly webinar information; and direct access to valuable information on scholarships and grants available for students, instructors and programs.
