Description

Accreditation processes in Turkish higher education have become increasingly detailed and demanding under efforts to meet the standards and requirements of MEDEK, MÜDEK, and YÖKAK. Institutions must collect and manage large amounts of data, demonstrate consistent alignment between program outcomes and national frameworks, document assessment and improvement cycles, and prepare periodic reports for internal and external evaluations. These tasks are often carried out manually or through uncoordinated systems, which leads to high workload, loss of time, data inconsistencies, and difficulty in maintaining continuous accreditation readiness. To address these challenges, a web-based software system was developed using C-Sharp to support accreditation process management in a structured and efficient way. The system organizes key components of accreditation—such as outcome mapping, evidence collection, assessment tracking, and report generation—into a single platform. It provides predefined templates that match MEDEK, MÜDEK, and YÖKAK criteria, ensures version control, and allows multiple users to work in parallel. Automated workflows reduce repetitive work, support accurate documentation, and make it easier to monitor progress throughout the accreditation cycle. The software is currently in its beta-testing phase and is being used at İzmir Kavram Vocational School. Early use shows improvements in the clarity, consistency, and accessibility of accreditation data. The platform helps institutions maintain up-to-date documentation, prepare required reports with less effort, and manage the process in a more predictable and organized manner. This study presents a practical digital tool that responds to common problems faced by higher education institutions during accreditation. The system shows that software-supported process management can reduce administrative load, improve data quality, and contribute to a more stable and sustainable approach to meeting MEDEK, MÜDEK, and YÖKAK requirements.
