Institutional Student Learning Outcomes

Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLO) Assessment Framework

This assessment framework serves as a comprehensive tool for gauging the progression of all students toward overarching goals, employing a robust and consistent sampling method. Its continual use offers valuable formative insights for students and provides a transparent view of each academic program's distinct contributions to student development.

Key Questions Addressed:

  1. Are all students achieving proficiency across all ISLO areas?
  2. Do equity gaps exist at the campus, college, or class level? If so, where do gaps exist?
  3. Are students on track to attain proficiency in areas beyond the central focus of their program?
  4. What courses contribute meaningfully to the achievement of ISLOs?
  5. How can programs leverage ISLO assessment findings for continuous improvement?
  6. What adjustments can be made to enhance the alignment of ISLOs with basic industry standards/expectations?
  7. How can ISLO assessment data inform the college’s strategic planning and resource allocation?
