1. Schools set Assessment Plans, including courses, assignments, and rubrics to use for program learning outcome (PLO) assessment
2. Each semester, IEA used the plans to notify Faculty who are teaching assessed courses in Canvas & ensure data is collected
3. Each semester, Faculty complete their PLO assessment in Canvas by the grading deadline.
4. IEA gathers the data into various reports and sends those to the schools & program coordinators for review
5. Schools use the data in their yearly review of the degrees, as well as in their periodic program review, making data-informed decisions for continuous improvement, including needed adjustments to Assessment Plans, PLOs, rubrics, curriculum, etc.
6. Repeat!

Specifically, the steps for Faculty to complete outcomes assessment in Canvas is:

1. Each semester, IEA sends an initial email notifying the faculty who are teaching courses used for PLO assessment in Canvas
   1. IEA will send additional reminder emails as needed throughout the semester.
2. IEA works with faculty to ensure the right outcomes rubrics are added within grading rubrics and attached to the appropriate assignments
   1. Guides on various aspects of the process are listed further down on the page
3. Faculty complete assessment scoring in Speedgrader, either as part of their grading process, or anytime afterwards until the end of the semester.
4. All outcomes assessment in Canvas must be completed by the grading deadline.
