Happy New Year!

 

Today, we “rolled over” the Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) for all academic programs in the Campus Labs Planning Module from 2017-18 to 2018-19. Please take a moment to look at the outcomes for your program to be sure they were indeed copied forward correctly.

 

For those of you introducing new outcomes this year (or revising an existing outcome), please let us know if you would like assistance.

 

• If the changes are truly simple edits of the wording, you can go into the Planning Module and make the appropriate edits. In the Notes field of the form, provide the old outcome, indicate the revisions made, and provide an explanation as to why the change is made. This is really for archival history for the program faculty.

 

• If the change is major, such as eliminating the outcome, it should be based on assessment of student learning. In these cases, 1) use the Notes field of the outcome being deleted to provide the explanation why it is being retired. 2) Attach any supporting documentation. And then, 3) mark the Progress field as “Retired.” You would then create the new outcome, using the same outcome number. This will help college and institutional reviewers understand what is happening with the program’s assessment plan.

 

Let us know if you have questions or need assistance. We’re here to help you (really).
