How is assessment information collected?

Each course must be designed to include at least one assessable artifact (assignment). The student must upload this artifact via Blackboard for assessment purposes. Uploading assignments into Blackboard is easy to do and provides a direct way to provide assessable materials to the Office of Assessment for Gen Ed assessment. Once the artifact is loaded into Blackboard, the system will harvest that artifact, and file it according to its associated General Education outcome(s). When it is time to begin the evaluation process, the computer will collect a sample of the stored artifacts.
