Last October the Chronicle of Higher Education announced the formation of a new alliance among several higher ed organizations and foundations to promote the measurement and improvement of student learning. Two of the members of the alliance have published New Leadership for Student Learning and Accountability: A Statement of Principles, Commitments to Action.
Assess this! is a gathering place for information and resources about new and better ways to promote learning in higher education, with a special focus on high-impact educational practices, student engagement, general or liberal education, and assessment of learning. The blog's name comes from one of the major activities in the ongoing cycle that starts with establishing student learning outcomes and proceeds through designing learning opportunities, assessing their effectiveness, and using assessment results to make improvements in educational practices.
