Assessment Resources

As a laboratory for innovation, the LTC has embarked on an “assessment journey”; experimenting with approaches to developing assessment tools and processes.   By revisiting and revising our assessment practices we have learned a lot. We have explicitly stated our values, vision, and mission and we have identified our collective assessment targets of engagement, satisfaction, and impact, all while continuing to sharpen our assessment skills.  Our plan is to share our findings—what is working, what didn’t work, and so forth—with the UD community.  To begin to share, we offer this page as a source of more information on the development of our assessment practices or as a reference for your own assessment needs.

As we continue our work and travel along the “assessment trail,” we will keep you informed.  Hopefully our paths will cross on our assessment journeys.  Happy trails!
