Getting Started on an Assessment Project

ETO provides support for learning analytics and assessment technologies to measure student learning outcomes. Examples include collecting data for program accreditation or analysis of student engagement and/or academic progress within a course. Supported tools for data collection include Canvas Outcomes, Qualtrics, Canvas New Analytics, and Impact (including Impact Course Reports). Limited support may be available for other data collection and/or analysis tools.

Assessment projects require significant input and time commitment on the part of the sponsoring department and/or individual.

To make an initial request for assistance on an assessment project, complete this form: Request Assistance with Assessment

Considerations

  • Sponsoring department and/or individual is responsible for developing assessment criteria (standards, outcomes, goals, etc), and performing data collection
  • Request must be made at least 6-8 weeks before data reporting is scheduled to begin.
  • Initial consultation with ETO required  - to be scheduled after request is received 
  • Identify at least one designated representative who will serve as project manager. This individual should expect to meet with ETO between 2 and 5 times. Identify other individuals who will support this process such as department administrative assistants.
