CEHD’s Online Assessment System

AERO supports program improvement by providing assessment data reports to program faculty for review. AERO creates assessment data reports based on data collected through VIA (as of Summer 2022, known as Student Learning & Licensure (SLL)) by Watermark, an online assessment system, embedded in CEHD Blackboard or Canvas course sections. Once the university transition to Canvas is complete in spring 2025, all links will be accessed through Canvas.
