Good afternoon!

 

This message is to alert you that Program Student Learning Outcomes have been rolled over from the 2020-21 AY to the 2021-22 AY within the Anthology Planning module. Please take a moment to look at the SLOs for your program to be sure they were indeed copied forward correctly. You can make changes (erase duplicates, remove retired outcomes), if needed, in the appropriate academic year 2021-2022.

 

For those of you introducing new outcomes this year (or revising an existing one), please let the Assessment Steering Committee know if you would like assistance. We’re happy to come to you.

 

• 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 SLO, indicate the revisions made, and provide an explanation as to why the change is being made. This is really for archival history for the program faculty.

 

• If the change is major, such as eliminating the SLO, it should be based on assessment of student learning. In these cases, 1) use the Notes field of the SLO 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 SLO, using the same SLO number. This will help reviewers understand what is happening with the program’s assessment plan.

Here are some helpful videos on accessing the Planning module and editing SLOs:

• Entering the URL for Planning Module
• Logging in to Planning Module
• Navigating the Plans area of the Planning Module
• Editing a Pre-Existing Plan Item (includes information about retiring outcomes at 8:11 minute mark & 9:42 minute mark)
• Creating a New Outcome in the Planning Module

 

If you have any questions or concerns, including accessing the Planning module, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Thanks,
