Assessment Learning Community

The UCITE Assessment Learning Community (ALC) was offered from 2020 through 2022 as an interdisciplinary group of CWRU teaching faculty colleagues who sought to explore and expand their understanding of student assessment. Learning Community participants explored relationships between student assessment in course settings and degree program outcomes. Teaching faculty had opportunities to design and revise assessment tools for use in their own courses and they discussed readings associated with assessment tools and techniques used in college classrooms. 

The Assessment Learning Community program took place during weekly meetings over a period of seven weeks. In each session, faculty considered innovative assessment practices that could be used to enhance student engagement and accurately measure student learning.

Assessment Learning Community program topics included but were not limited to:

• development and use of assessment tools appropriate for large and small class spaces;
• alignment of course goals, assessment tools, and instructional strategies;
• use of assessment to record student learning;
• use of assessment to monitor student progress; and
• exploration of relationships between assessment of student learning and assessment of program-level outcomes.
