Course, department, and program-level assessment of learning outcomes is important and so is closing the assessment loop and drawing value from the process. This session will demonstrate the use of an assessment tool I developed that works within Excel to access Canvas by mapping outcomes to existing rubric criteria. Faculty can use this tool to extract data from current and past Canvas courses. At Lower Columbia College the Language and Literature department analyzed thousands of evaluation events from their courses and used the data to identify student strengths and areas of focus for improvement, in less than 6 hours. Information on how to access this tool will be shared in the presentation.
