Based on internal and external requirements, you regularly take time to assess student learning outcomes at your institution. But when was the last time you assessed your assessments?
If the answer is, "I can't remember," or "I don't know," then it's probably time to take a step back and review your school's overall assessment process and strategies. If you are facing a program review or seeking external accreditation, then the pressure is on and the timing is perfect to subject your assessment program to scrutiny, before trying to justify the results to outside parties.


In 5 Steps to Renew Program-Level Learning Outcomes Assessment, Dr. Lisa Shibley of Millersville University will help colleges and universities fine-tune their existing assessment programs and provide detailed guidance for making necessary improvements.


This video online seminar will cover:
• Enhancing assessment of student learning within a program or department
• The Learning Opportunities Matrix
• Connecting program outcomes to trends in the disciplines
• Reviewing collected outcome information
• Assessing particular course objectives
• Using faculty time more efficiently
• Improving learning experiences–inside and outside the classroom
• Integrated assessment strategies
• Identifying available learning opportunities within a program
• Improving connections of outcomes to learning experiences
• Sharing assessment findings with colleagues and stakeholders


Participants in this live, interactive seminar will also identify three updates to implement during the next assessment cycle and create a checklist of key elements to review in their outcomes assessment process.
