The Learning Community Assessment Committee is responsible for assessing the Learning Community Program as a whole. Toward that end, the group has developed a survey, and compiles a yearly report summarizing learning outcomes achieved across the entire program. Their reports are available online.  The Committee also helps community members sharpen their assessment skills.

They help Learning Community leaders because assessment is a key part of the learning community program. Creating strong learning outcomes is essential to propose a learning community. If you choose good ones, final assessment will be much stronger. For advice on creating effective learning outcomes, join the Learning Outcomes Online Discussion Group.

Learning Community leaders are encouraged to use Student Voice to track their own personalized learning outcomes. Please develop a survey to measure your learning outcomes. To make it stronger, take advantage of Student Voice's personalized coaching. In addition, they will post the survey for you, and give you a website link to send your students. Plan to allow them about a week of turnaround time. If you don't have a login, contact Student Voice directly and cc Laura Woodward to request one.
