What does Planning & Self-Study do for me?
With Planning & Self-Study you can get more from your assessment and accreditation management processes. This solution helps you centralize planning, assessment, and outcomes to surface insights that fuel data-driven decisions. Drive a collaborative self-study process and demonstrate progress toward your strategic plan with ease.
How is it different from Taskstream AMS?
Many users who have transitioned from one of Watermark’s older tools to Planning & Self-Study mention the updated user interface and modernized system workflows as a benefit of making the move.
Planning & Self-Study also offers enhanced support for self-studies, collaboration, evidence management and exports. It even introduces opportunities for data integrations with your LMS, and Watermark’s Student Learning & Licensure and Course Evaluation & Surveys solutions.
There is a lot to explore with this new solution, and our teams are excited to discuss how they align with your unique needs when the time is right to begin the discussion with your Customer Success Manager.
Will this be an additional cost?
Pricing will vary depending on institutional characteristics and the needs of your institution. We currently have loyalty pricing incentives in place for existing Taskstream AMS clients who are looking to make this transition to Planning & Self-Study. Please reach out to your Customer Success Manager if you would like to begin this discussion.
