Prendergast, Caroline O.; Horst, S. Jeanne – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2021
In this occasional paper, we invite readers into a conversation about the need for and usefulness of a set of learning objectives or competencies for the field of assessment. We briefly discuss the slow solidification of the field of assessment as a discipline, the diverse paths of entry into the field of assessment, and the increasing need for…

Jankowski, Natasha – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2021
In the field of education, we bump constantly into buzzwords, pass unclear phrases in the hall, and greet acronyms as good friends. Yet rarely is it that we unpack or critically examine what is meant when phrases are uttered. What does it actually "mean" to "enhance institutional effectiveness"? To "foster synergy"?…

Montenegro, Erick; Jankowski, Natasha A. – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020
Entering into a new decade with an even more diversified college student population will not only require more assessment models involving students but also deeper professional development of institutional representatives key to student learning.

Hong, Rebecca C.; Moloney, Kara – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020
The United States is in a period of reckoning from which institutions of higher education are not exempt. Rather, we exist at the intersection of the chaos wrought by the novel coronavirus and the spread of outrage about systemic racism beyond Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPoC) communities. The resulting almost universal sense of loss…

Baker, Gianina R.; Jankowski, Natasha A. – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020
Traditionally, transcripts present a collection of lists of courses and grades in a format valuable for trading information between and among institutions of higher education. What if transcripts were reimagined to not only provide information on credits earned, but also provide information on learning acquired both inside and outside the…

Jankowski, Natasha A. – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020
In March 2020, institutions abruptly pivoted to remote instruction, sending students, faculty, and staff away from college campuses in response to COVID-19. In June 2020, the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) launched a survey to capture a snapshot of assessment-related changes made during Spring 2020 in response to the…

Orr, Verna F. – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2020
At this transformational moment in history, this report takes time to center Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) within the assessment realm; from teaching and learning experiences to internal and external mandates, from accreditation requirements to advocacy and agency. This work requires more than a statement composed of…

Muller, Kristyn; Gradel, Kathleen; Deane, Susan; Forte, Michele; McCabe, Ryan; Pickett, Alexandra M.; Piorkowski, Rob; Scalzo, Kim; Sullivan, Rachel – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2019
Online education can be leveraged to help current students complete their degrees and to attract new students.

Multiple software systems can offer…

Hutchings, Pat – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2018
Over the last several years, National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) has worked with faculty from around the country to build an online library of assignments that both foster and provide evidence of student learning. The Library is now approaching 80 entries and growing. A number of those assignments include an explicit…

Cronjé, Johannes – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2018
The question driving this paper is: "What should we assess if learners can Google the answers on their mobile devices?" If "Learning" is defined as "being able to do something afterwards that you could not do before," the problem is that technology now enables us to do many things which we were not able to do before,…

Metzler, Eric T.; Kurz, Lisa – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2018
The discipline of assessment has matured to the point where there is general agreement on best practices. However, the field has made little progress in developing a theoretical basis -- whether for assessment in general or for more specific dimensions of assessment as they emerge. Without a generalizable theory to work from, assessment…

Montenegro, Erick; Jankowski, Natasha A. – National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, 2017

This National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA) policy statement outlines the warrant for multiple, systematic approaches to obtain evidence of authentic student achievement.
