dal.ai
What it is
dal.ai is a web application for organizing ABET assessment evidence, mapping course outcomes to student outcomes, documenting Criterion 4 improvement cycles, and drafting Self-Study Reports. It supports the EAC, CAC, ETAC, and ANSAC commissions. Teams upload exports, reports, and documents from assessment systems; dal.ai drafts report sections from that material, cites the source for each claim, and points out missing evidence. Users can map outcomes across a curriculum, add optional performance indicators, and use AI-assisted syllabus classification. A structured four-stage workflow records continuous improvement activities. Program directors can invite coordinators and faculty into one workspace, then export a finished Self-Study Report as a PDF. Direct assessment-platform integrations are on the roadmap; current workflows rely on uploads. Monthly plans are $399 a month for one program, $799 for up to five, and $1,199 for up to ten. Annual plans are also listed, plus custom campus enterprise pricing. A 14-day trial is available.
