Attention: CAT and COVID-19
Given the current circumstances with COVID-19 and the closure of many campuses, we will be allowing the online administration of the CAT outside of a proctored setting. We will work with institutions to setup proctor accounts and specific blocks of time during which a student can log in and complete the CAT. If have questions about an online CAT administration, please contact cat@tntech.edu.

Virtual Training Workshops

In response to social distancing guidelines and travel restrictions,  we are offering virtual versions of our workshops. These virtual workshops are not just another Zoom meeting. We use leading edge broadcast software and hardware to deliver an engaging and interactive experienced for you and your colleagues. 

Virtual On-Site Workshops

On-site virtual workshops can be arranged to prepare larger groups of faculty to implement the CAT across the institution. This option allows you to choose your own dates and include a greater number of faculty participants promoting increased buy-in across your campus. These training workshops typically accommodate up to 15 participants and vary from 1-3 days depending on the content you would like to include. On-site virtual workshops can include leading scoring sessions, facilitating CAT Apps development, guiding assessment discussion, and supporting other improvement initiatives. 

Supporting Improvement Initiatives

Let our team help you develop institutional plans for learning and assessment. Through our work with two and four year institutions, research groups, and professional organizations, we have significant experience and knowledge measuring student learning outcomes for programs, general education, accrediting bodies, and other institutional entities. As part of a SACS accredited institution, we have specific expertise in developing Quality Enhancement Plans (QEP). If you would like help deciding how to tackle an assessment problem you are facing, we may be able to help. Contact us for more information.
