Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Project
RIVERLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
Student Learning Outcomes Assessment
In demonstration of its commitment to improvement of student learning, Riverland Community College embarked upon a multi-phase project in January 2008 as part of an Academic Quality Improvement Project (AQIP) in the category “Helping Students Learn.” The Higher Learning Commission established six AQIP categories to “provide a framework that institutions can use to examine their key processes and allow institutions to analyze, understand, and explore opportunities for improvement. While Riverland Community College had an active focus on student learning outcomes assessment prior to 2008, the development of the Student Learning Outcomes Assessment Project (SLOAP) resulted in a comprehensive, robust plan for assessing and documenting student learning outcomes and using those results to improve teaching and learning.
This document includes the original AQIP Action Plan (Phases I through III) as well as updates and enhancements that have been made as SLOAP has grown and matured past the first three phases of the project. Click below to view the full SLOAP plan.
