The Ellbogen Center for Teaching & Learning (ECTL) Assessment Team in collaboration with Dr. Francois Jacobs, in the College of Engineering & Physical Sciences, will continue to develop and pilot the UW Programmable Assessment Matrix. The UW Programmable Assessment Matrix is designed for curriculum mapping and assessment tracking.
This Matrix was developed and successfully deployed during the National Accreditation visit for the Construction Management program and has proven successful with features that can be customized for use by other departments and academic programs.
We acknowledge and celebrate the UW Assessment Matrix pilot programs for their work and dedication to assessment for student learning: Honors College, ASL Certificate Program (College of Health Sciences), Gender and Women's Studies (College of Arts & Sciences), and the Master of Science in Learning, Design and Technology (College of Education).
The UW Assessment Matrix was selected to present at the 2023 Assessment Institute in Indianapolis, Indiana. Presentation Title: "The University of Wyoming (UW) Assessment Matrix: Using Technologies to Support Advance Assessment for Student Learning."
