Student Learning Outcomes & Assessment Roland Finger & Susan Iredale-Kline SLOA Coordinators

Why learn eLumen? ACCJC Standard I.B.6: "The institution disaggregates and analyzes learning outcomes and achievement for subpopulations of students." SLOA Committee was tasked with finding the best option to help the college address this standard, eLumen was the clear winner.

Why eLumen? Based on the SLOA Committee recommendation, Academic Senate passed on August 28, 2016, a proposal for faculty to use eLumen beginning Spring It will streamline program review Tie budget requests to outcomes Allow the college to identify subpopulations and report proficiency based on faculty assessments

Map SLOs to PLOs & ILOs We want to get the “Unmapped SLOs” and “SLOs without Assessments” to: “All Completed”

Getting to the Mapping

Program Information

Map SLOs to PLOs

Mapping SLOs to ILOs Hover over the arrow on the right, to see the remaining ILOs.

Changing SLOs in eLumen Only change SLOs in eLumen, to reflect changes already made in Curricunet! Use “Edit” to fix spelling errors only. Use “New Version” if making substantial edits to the SLO.

Creating Assessments There are many different ways you can get to the screen to add an assessment As either Coordinator: Under “Outcomes & Assessment” tab, click on any number of SLOs for the courses, and the option “Create Assessment” will appear As faculty: Under “Courses” chose “Add Assessment” under any of your courses

Add your Assessment to eLumen

Linking SLOs to the Assessment Choosing “Save” keeps it only in your view. Choosing “Save and add to Library” allows other faculty teaching the same course to see and use the assessment you created.

Click “Link Outcome”

3 Rubric Types Activity Oriented – Single Outcome Activity Oriented – Multi-Rubric Outcomes Oriented

Activity Oriented, Single Outcome Example: An exam or paper that is assessing one outcome but has multiple aspects for assessment

Activity Oriented, Single Outcome

Activity Oriented, Multi-Rubric The most confusing of the three; if you have a rubric that will assess more than one SLO and have multiple factors for each SLO

Multi-Rubric Example

Outcomes Oriented Easiest to use, has two views for scoring, the scorecard view and the rubric view Can assess multiple SLOs, but will not allow for multiple criteria

Distributing Assessments Future training topic Course & Department Coordinators will be able to distribute assessment to faculty, who will get notifications that an assessment is due Course & Dept. Coordinators will be able to see how many people are working, finished or have not started an assessment – But never the individual scores for students entered by faculty!

Distributing “Action Plans” Once assessment has been finished, typically we do a CPAS – the CPAS is called Action Plan in eLumen and has been separated – Course Assessment Summary – Program Assessment Summary Department & Division Coordinators will be able to distribute assessment plans to faculty and be able to track completion
