Review of “Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education”

Christine M. Bachen   |    Volume Ten  |   

Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education is co-authored by an accomplished and influential group of scholars and practitioners, all of whom work with the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA). Established in 2008, NILOA’s mission is to “discover and disseminate ways that academic programs and institutions can productively use assessment data internally to inform and strengthen undergraduate education, and externally to communicate with policy makers, families and other stakeholders” (NILOA, 2012, para. 3). The authors of this volume draw upon the sustained work of NILOA, as well as the authors’ other extensive experiences working with assessment of student learning in a variety of institutional contexts.
