Learning Outcomes and Assessment Resources

In addition to working personally with individual programs to develop their assessment plans, the COE Office of Planning and Assessment is continually looking for additional resources to support program faculty in their continuous improvement efforts.  On this page we provide links to resources to help with student learning outcomes, student assessments, curriculum mapping, and data review. Some of the webinars will require you to "register" to watch the recorded session.
