And we think they’ll transform the power of ou

assessment in higher education.



So: what can you do with SLOs

Start with: Accreditation and Program Review.

Then add:

• Co-Remediation

Problem Co-Remediat ion

Screening for basic

skills can work—but

can sometimes screenout students who

would better benefitfrom Co-Remediation.

Adopt ing Competency-Based

assessments into curriculum

allows you to do early formativeassessments of core skills such

as writing and math while alsoengaging students in the skills

development they’ll need in

their program.

With eLumen’s ability to score

individual students, mapskills from course to program-

and Gen Ed outcomes, as well

as track Demographics, youcan send one set of remedial

students to the Writing Center and another to ESL Mentoring.

Problem Retent ion

Specific skills can be

a challenge over t ime,

even if a student isprogressing through

their program.

Competency-Based offering s

allow you to build alternative

offerings t hat address specificskills-gaps or skills-emphases.

eLumen allows you to d efine

alternative assessment strategies,

as well as track both individualsand cohorts over time. This

combination of variable strategic

initative and invidual student-tracking can change what the

game for assessment.-
