Automate collection and evaluation of direct evidence
Automate rubric scoring and generate reports
Leverage current curriculum mapping in TaskStream
Signature assignments
Learning Goals & Assessment Rubrics created
Build foundation for future use of Outcomes
Identify processes and guidelines for on-boarding programs
Select initial “programs” for implementation
Full implementation of Outcomes can be 3 to 5 years

Demonstrate program-level assessment
Some Terminology
Outcomes Goals = Program Student Learning Outcomes
Outcomes Rubrics = Assessment Rubrics (i.e., AAC&U Value Rubrics)
Outcomes Evidence = Direct Evidence (student work)
Outcomes Evaluations = Scoring Assessment Rubrics
Outcomes Reports = Aggregated Reports from Scored Assessment Rubrics

12. Outcomes Program Level Assessment Process
Enter Program Learning (Outcomes) Goals
Align Course Assignment to Goals
Collect Direct Evidence (Student Submissions)
Enter Program-level Assessment Rubrics
Create Evaluation Sessions for Scoring Direct Evidence
Generate (Aggregated) Reports from Scored Rubrics
Hand off Reports to Programs to Make Improvements
