Abstract


While some colleges and universities may have embraced learning outcomes assessment and others may not, all institutions must collect, analyze, use, and communicate data results to demonstrate accountability to key stakeholders and comply with reporting/accrediting requirements.  Although most institutions have established assessment plans and collect data, many fewer transparently present their assessment outcomes especially online; however, the Web provides an easy way to demonstrate accountability to all key stakeholders and show student achievement.  This paper explains a simple and inexpensive way for institutions to use common technologies (e.g., Excel and the Web) to collect, maintain, and present easy-to-comprehend assessment results.
