Data, Decision-Making, and Continuous Improvement
This advanced seminar builds on the topics covered in the Assurance of Learning Seminar I. Implement innovative approaches to measuring, reporting, and closing the loop in your assessment program. Focusing on the 2020 AACSB Accreditation Standards, the seminar will provide AoL plan and data set examples, explore curriculum and course mapping, and share AACSB accreditation committee and peer review team expectations.
