In collaboration with the University Assessment Council, UASL has released a tool for all academic programs to use to document their assessment of student learning. This tool will be used to measure approximately one-third of the student learning objectives for each academic program each year. This tool collects student learning objectives and measures used for these objectives, as well as data collected from these measures that documents their achievement.

Here is an example of a completed report:

The UASL has also collected a set of additional assessment resources (our toolkit, Rush Library journals, and Web-based resources to enhance assessment and teaching skills).
