The Office of Student Affairs Assessment at NDSU was created in 2013 and supports assessment efforts in the Division of Student Affairs.
The institute is featuring the site at www.learningoutcomeassessment.org for its creativity, communication and centralized assessment repository. A summary regarding the selection process said the NDSU website features videos, reports and graphics designed to provide assessment data to many audiences.
“On the assessment resources page, site visitors can view a short video introducing student affairs assessment activities at NDSU, as well as links to video tutorials on using Excel to analyze data and create charts, creating and using rubrics and writing surveys,” the summary stated, while also noting users can find student learning and persistence reports, a list of external resources, internal assessment resources such as a Student Success Programs Report, current NDSU assessment projects and presentations and worksheets from an NDSU’s staff development project called Student Affairs Assessment Academy.
