Project Description

The RIT Office of Cooperative Education and Career Services desires to migrate a mostly paper process for evaluating and assessing co-op assignments to an electronic one. The current process involves using postal mail to distribute and return forms, managing paper records in the co-op office, and sometimes scanning paper documents to create electronic versions for distribution. This process is time consuming and wastes paper. It is also not conducive to analyzing the data collected from both employers and students, which is important for gathering information about student growth and development for academic program evaluation and accreditation. This project proposes to enhance this evaluation process by developing a web-based system with greater ease of use to both employers and students and with significantly strengthened analysis and reporting tools.
