Laney Institutional Learning Outcomes (ILOs)

Canvas Shell – ILO Resources

The information on this page, plus many more hints and examples of ILO assessment, can be found in the ILO Resources shell. All faculty were given instructor-level access to the shell in spring 2021. If you do not yet have access, please make your own request to be added to the ILO Resources shell as an instructor, via the helpdesk.

On the institutional level, Laney has three ways of assessing ILOs

Instructional and Instructional/CTE departments must participate in ILO assessment by use of common rubrics and/or surveys, and document this in Program Review

  1. Common Rubrics
    • The most labor intensive and scientifically sound way of assessing ILOs, this method requires faculty to assess an assignment related to that particular ILO using the common rubric
    • Faculty enter data in currIQunet Meta, Levels 1 and 2 (see training materials)
    • The campus Assessment Coordinators collect data in Meta Level 4
    • The Learning Assessment Committee reviews data and suggests action plans
    • Periodic campus-wide discussion solidifies action plans, and engages in reflection
    • Common rubrics can be found in the table below (pdf versions, scroll past table for Word versions)
    • Download detailed Steps to Using the ILO Common Rubrics
  2. Surveys
    • The simplest way to assess ILOs, this method requires faculty or classified professionals to send a link to students to complete a brief survey (2-3 substantive questions)
    • Does NOT require data entry in Meta (although data can be entered if desired)
    • Surveys may be used for classes and clubs, as well as campus events and professional development activities
    • Surveys allow the respondent to state how an assignment, event, or professional activity influenced them
    • Data are pooled for periodic campus-wide discussion, looking for patterns and establishing action plans
    • Data for a specific course, club, event, or professional development activity can also be extracted and looked at independently
    • Survey links to send to students can be found on this password protected page (ask your LAC representative or the Assessment Coordinators for the password, if you are faculty your best bet is to check out the ILO Resources Canvas shell)
    • Download detailed Steps to Using the ILO Surveys
  3. Graduating Student ILO Survey
    • A brief survey (2 substantive questions) is sent to all graduating students each spring
    • The Learning Assessment Committee reviews data and suggests action plans
    • Periodic campus-wide discussion solidifies action plans, and engages in reflection
    • No Meta data entry required
