Outcomes Assessment Resources on the Web
The following links relate specifically to assessment in higher education although some also relate to educational evaluation in general. They are loosely organized into eight categories.
University Assessment Pages
General Resources
Agencies, Institutes and Organizations
Assessment Instruments and Techniques
Assessment Papers and Reports
Commercial Resources on Assessment
Benchmarking
Software
For anyone looking for a place to start, I recommend beginning with the University of Illinois Outcomes Assessment Page and then visit the sites listed under General Resources. Many of the pages, especially the University pages, include links to addition
al resources.
This list was compiled from the internet by searching Excite, Yahoo! and Hotbot for the keywords: assessment, student outcomes, institutional effectiveness. Additional links were found by searching various university sites on the above keywords.
All Big 12 University web sites were searched. If any are not represented below, it is because I have not found resources for them on the web. It does not mean they are not doing assessment.
Most of the links in the categories Agencies, Institutes and Organizations and Assessment Instruments and Techniques were compiled by Catherine Callow Elwell at Utah State University. They are part of a large document Electronic Resources for Evaluators
