  3. Background The George Mason University College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) collects course-based assessment data through the online assessment system Student Learning and Licensure (SL&L), by Watermark. • CEHD began using this system, then known as VIA (referred to as VIA/SLL), during 2019. Currently, the majority of CEHD programs, including teacher licensure programs, collect student data using this platform. • Throughout the course of their program CEHD students will be asked to submit work and (for teacher licensure students) score a Self- Assessment of Dispositions in VIA/SLL. • The Accreditation and External Reporting Office (AERO) sets up and manages all VIA/SLL assessments, runs reports and provides support for all faculty and students in using the VIA/SLL platform. • PowerPoint instructions and videos for both faculty and students can be found on the AERO Assessment webpage: https://cehd.gmu.edu/aero/assessments/; all questions and support requests should be sent to viahelp@gmu.edu. AERO collects assessment data for accreditation and internal review processes; data collected in VIA/SLL is for assessment purposes not assignment grades (although some student work may, separately, be graded as part of a course assignment). • 3
