Assessing Student Learning Using AAC&U VALUE Rubrics

Practice Type: 
Portfolio: Assessment

This practice is a proof of concept demonstration of one way to implement the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics in Sakai/OSP. We have created a matrix for a possible undergraduate learning experience, a set of evaluation forms using the AAC&U VALUE Rubrics, and a glossary explicating AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes. These Sakai/OSP data structures can be used to create a portfolio implementation to assess student learning across and beyond the curriculum.

AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes matrix and VALUE Rubrics

Resource Type: 
OSP Matrix

Introduction

This is a package of demonstration material that illustrates one way that Sakai could be used to implement portions of an assessment strategy using the AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes and VALUE rubrics. It is not a comprehensive solution and should be regarded as an early release. Feedback of any sort is welcome. Below we attempt to qualify this implementation with some assumptions and related limitations:

Assumptions and Limitations

Each AAC&U VALUE rubric includes a statement that says:

AAC&U Essential Learning Outcomes: 
Civic knowledge & engagement (local & global)
Creative thinking
Critical thinking
Ethical reasoning & action
Foundations & skills for lifelong learning
Information literacy
Inquiry & analysis
Integrative learning
Intercultural knowledge & competence
Oral communication
Problem solving
Quantitative literacy
Teamwork
Written communication

School of Education at Syracuse University Portfolio Review Template

Resource Type: 
OSP Template

This template works with the Syracuse University School of Education Proficiency matrix to generate a web based presentation of the submitted evidence, reflections on each proficiency and the student's overall emerging theory of teaching at each stage of their program. The audience for this portfolio is a panel of reviewers that assess the student's ability to critically reflect and explain their practice.
