For newcomers to Assessment

• Assessment is an integral part of our teaching function and needs to be completed on a regular basis (at least once a year) for each course that is taught

• What we assess is Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) for a course and Program Learning Outcomes for each program. This PowerPoint is on how to do and report assessment for SLOs.

• Assessment can be indirect (reported by students) and direct (using Projects and more).

• This PowerPoint shows how to handle indirect assessments for SLOs easily.

Overall Process • Add the following items to the Indirect assessment site at

www.sloeval.com : – Discipline name, courses, SLOs only once – Sections for each term

• SLOs can be copied from CurricUnet into the site for each class

• For each term – add section to the term – Create link to provide to students – Create assignment which points students to the survey.

• Various reports for instructor and administration – need to change section from Survey Ready to Report Ready

before report can be run • Analyze above data and enter into survey monkey

Web sites • There are two web sites we can use to report on

assessment of SLOs – www.sloevl.com was created by Cristian Racataian, an

associate faculty in CIS. This site collects feedback data from students.

• The following slides show you how to add a discipline, a course and a section to the web site. You will not need to do that if the discipline and course are already present, you will just need to add the section for each term.

• The site also generates reports. You can view your section report and then summarize it in Survey Monkey.

– Survey Monkey is used to collect your analysis of the data from the above step. It also has a web site mentioned later on in this slide show.

How to add section Needs to be done each term

Add Course once, section each term

• You will need to copy your updated SLOs from Curricunet here.

• This should be done immediately after adding a new course, or can be done collectively after all courses have been added.

• SLOs have to be added before creating section

Provide Survey Link to students • In View Sections, if the section is Survey Ready, it will

provide you with a link to the survey which can be given to students (maybe as an assignment with minimal point value)

• Example of assignment: – Complete the survey at this link for grade – http://www.sloeval.com/students/survey.php?cmd=auto&secti

on_id=47 – Note that the number at the end (47) will be different and

unique to your section • At the end of the term when all surveys should be

completed, the status needs to be changed from Survey Ready to Report Ready before reports can be viewed.

To View the Report

• Change the status from Survey Ready to Report Ready first (see next slide) by clicking the section and then clicking Survey Ready

• Go to the Reports Page from the Instructor Menu

• Click Survey Reports, then select discipline, course and then section

• Specify Term and Year, then click Report by Section and click View Report

To View the Report

What happens to the data • Instructors can view reports about their own classes • Chair can view reports about all discipline classes

– Cristian will need to figure out how to control for various disciplines

• The reports can be saved in PDF format and uploaded to Curricunet or Survey Monkey.

• This will meet minimum requirements for assessment. Closing the loop (changes made based on this data) will have to be done elsewhere (survey monkey or ??).

• This is indirect assessment. Direct assessment is looked upon more favorably. This site has been enhanced to allow for direct assessment.

Analysis in www.surveymonkey.com

• The indirect data collected in the www.sloeval.com site needs to be analyzed.

• The central assessment link for RCC is http://academic.rcc.edu/assessment/ and the link to the survey is http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/student-learning-outcomes

• Based on the data from sloeval from this and past terms, fill out the survey monkey form. The accreditation committee will look at what percentage of courses have done the analysis in survey monkey. The survey monkey form should take less than ten minutes per course.

• Eventually, all this will be transferred to a new Sharepoint location
