Two Approaches to Assessment
Inside-the-course Primary Assessment
Give instructors the freedom to assess their own students using in-course exams and grading or secondary rubrics—which exist in their Blackboard Learn course.
- Facilitate assessment using test questions aligned to learning outcomes.
- Facilitate assessment using in-course rubrics for any gradable item (e.g., an assignment, a discussion, etc.) in Blackboard Learn with rubric rows aligned to learning outcomes.
- Automate test and rubric data collection across sections and disciplines.
- Provide robust statistical analysis, including overall test and item reliability by individual student, course, and cohort.
Outside-the-course Juried Assessment
Empower assessment professionals to automate the collection and evaluation of student work–based on assignment submissions in Blackboard Learn — aligned to learning outcomes across sections and disciplines.
- Create an evidence repository of student assignment artifacts aligned to learning outcomes.
- Facilitate the sampling of evidence repositories and scoring of assessment rubrics by faculty teams.
- Enable quality audits of student learning outcomes for curricular effectiveness.
- Simplify the identification of strengths and weaknesses of student learning by student, course, cohort, and by reviewer for inter-rater reliability.
