Blinn College will use TracDat for an Organized, Systematic Approach to Assessment

PITTSBURGH, PA, May 27, 2009 – Nuventive, a leading provider of individual and institutional assessment solutions, today announced that Blinn College has selected TracDat, the enterprise assessment management solution, to help streamline their assessment processes. TracDat will serve as a system for all members of the institution to access and aggregate their valuable information.

Blinn College, a community college located in Brenham, Texas, has a long history of documenting critical institutional data. TracDat will help centralize this data to prevent redundancy and will also support several of the important initiatives that Blinn College has in effect including strategic planning, coordination and documentation of assessment practices, core curriculum review and program review. Furthermore, TracDat will help with the accreditation process by providing the college efficient, user-friendly software that will support BIinn College's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), which focuses on improving student success in high-risk core curriculum courses.

With such a strong focus on planning and improvement "Blinn College is pleased to partner with Nuventive on its institutional effectiveness journey. TracDat will make our path easier and assist us in identifying and achieving the significant milestones we have set before us," said Dr. Cathy Kemper, Dean, Institutional Effectiveness and Accreditation, Blinn College.

Blinn College has already begun to implement TracDat. "Implementing TracDat in an institution like Blinn College gives them leverage in managing improvement processes in multiple areas.
