About Us
The Academic Learning Outcomes Assessment (ALOA) Committee consists of faculty representatives from each school and Gumberg Library. We provide learning assessment support and resources through consulting, feedback on reports, faculty mini grants, workshops and book studies.
Whereas we focus largely on program-level learning assessment, in conjunction with the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), we also can provide resources for developing course-level tests and assignments.
ALOA meets on the second Tuesday of each month during the school year. Please contact your representative if you have questions or concerns that you would like to bring to our attention.
The assessment of student learning begins with educational values. Assessment is not an end in itself but a vehicle for educational improvement. Its effective practice, then, begins with and enacts a vision of the kinds of learning we most value for students and strive to help them achieve.
