An assessment management system allows academic programs and the University to keep track of program efforts to report their methods of academic assessment. Campus Labs Planning allows programs to enter and keep track of annual program assessment reports, compare them over time and export them, as well as to track which reports still need to be submitted. Faculty can collaborate on assessment reports and project and share departmental plans for assessing learning outcomes over time.
