College Portrait
• Student Learning Outcomes
– Pilot project to measure learning gains in critical thinking,
analytic reasoning, written communication at institution level
– Measured and reported in a standard way using either CAAP,
CLA, MAPP
– Learning gains (value-added) are the difference between
actual and expected scores of graduating and entering
students after controlling for academic ability

Comparison not Ranking
• Public presentation of common data for users to easily access and compare info
• Breadth and variety of data so users can focus on elements important to them
• Policy Statement of VSA Board on appropriate use of VSA data “vigorously oppose any ranking scheme”

Demand for Learning Outcomes
• Not a fad but reasonable response to changing
information needs
– Learning outcomes reporting has bipartisan support in
Congress
– Intervention from associations prevented mandate in
Higher Education Opportunity Act
– Bologna Process
