Welcome to the home page for Learning Outcomes Assessment. Take a look at recent reports/activities by SLOAC Recent Reports/Activities.

Assessment is an iterative feedback process for continual program improvement, based on the model shown below.

Step one: Define intended program learning objectives: specifically, what do we want our graduates to know and actually be able to do?

Step two: Define measurable outcomes that will serve as evidence of how well each objective has been met, and then actually to measure them.

Step three: Compare actual observed outcomes to intended program objectives: how well did we meet our objectives in general , and our student learning objectives in particular?

Step four: Based on how well or how poorly achieved outcomes compare to intended outcomes, elements of the program are redesigned as appropriate, and a new cycle begins.
