overallunderstanding of the material? To offer extra credit for simply watching the video again seemscounterproductive. While the video system can track students watching the videos, it is unable to tell ifthe student is cognitively involved in the video or rather is simply playing the video in the background(or even in a minimized window.) Thus, while the analytics provided system could be beneficial, it maynot benefit the student.To work around this limitation and require at least a minimal level of interaction with the video,students in courses using video feedback were invited to submit a simple reflection on the video. Bydoing this, students had to watch the video, perform at least a limited assessment of the ideas in thevideo, and then draft a short

Data visualization and faculty engagement in program assessmentAbstractOne of the biggest challenges of program assessment is how to engage program faculty in theassessment process. The author describes how his department took advantage of the ABETComputing Accreditation Commission (CAC) Criterion 3 (Student Outcomes) changes to reviewtheir program assessment process and make changes to make the process more actionable andmeaningful to the faculty. The changes include the use of performance indicators (PIs) for eachstudent outcome, and the use of data visualization techniques to get faculty involved inevaluating the assessment data. First, the university-level and department-level programassessment processes are described. Next, the
