Chesapeake College's Enhanced Course-level Assessment Process
In October 2008, the Academic Planning and Assessment Committee (APAC) and the General Education Committee (GEC) reviewed, modified and approved a proposed enhanced course-level assessment process to be conducted spring 2009. IPRA brought together best practices of community college assessment and current technology to enhance our current course-level assessment as well as adhere to our accrediting commission's standards.
To enhance the current course-level assessment process, the pilot was developed to:
- Generate useful results utilized for student learning and course/program improvement
- Utilize user-friendly technology and web-based reporting
- Measure General Education competencies
- Provide research examples and assessment training resources
- Promote and facilitate dialogue on best practices
- Bring together cross-divisional recommendations
- Measure progress through follow-up action plans
