Summary:

For nearly twenty years, colleges and universities have sought ways to generate data on actual student learning outcomes while maintaining an institutional information context that is itself indifferent to outcomes. As a result, outcomes assessment has been problematic, since the institutions themselves lack the capability to focus on student learning. This e-book examines a bold alternative, changing the context itself, through the lens of seven different articles.
