Committee web site
Course based
assessment reporting
Committee members observed that it is difficult to find assessment report
templates and assessment tools on the web site.
Kate presented a draft of a course assessment reporting template – based
on Stark State’s template – and notes on the guidelines discussed at the last
meeting. The Committee supported adding space to the template for
program level learning outcomes and suggested changes to the evaluation
methods based on additional information Kate presented.

The Committee approved the change to the Program Assessment Report
document that indicates that CLO assessments are reported according to
the CLO 3-year assessment cycle.
Information Literacy Rubric – the Committee recommended changes in the Present rubric to
language regarding plagiarism. The recommended changes will be run by English Dept.
the English Department for approval.
Culture & Community – No report.
The Committee decided not to pursue the investigation of web-based
assessment platforms any further for this year due to funding and human
resources constraints. (The group that visited Owens CC in December did
not think Task Stream was the right platform for our needs. Live Text was
the next platform that was to be investigated.)
Upcoming/postponed agenda items: Computation CLO and Culture &
Community CLO update reports; LCC Assessment Conference video.
