In addressing Comprehensive Standard 3.3.1.1, Southwest Texas Junior College has developed an assessment approach which derives evidence of student learning from multiple sources including: course grades, pre and post test assessments, attendance, and student activity in curricula and co-curricular programming. The college utilizes a student data warehouse that acts as a repository for the collection of individual student assessment data. The data warehouse provides a mechanism for comprehensive analysis and reporting of student achievement from the student level up; to the course level, to the program level which combine to provide an institutional overview of student learning.

Correction: Slide 17 of the webinar refers to the dashboard work done by Richland Community College, part of the Dallas County Community College District. This is incorrect; the name of the school is Richland College. Richland Community College is a college in Illinois. This has been corrected in the slide, but is still incorrect in the webinar replay. You can find more information about Richland College’s dashboard on their website |
