Current Assessment Activities
Welcome!
Welcome to the 2024/25 Academic Year. We invite all UW instructors, administrators, and staff to take advantage of the Assessment Activities we offer. Our programming is tailored based on need and 'closing the loop' on internal assessment processes, i.e., we offer programs we feel will best meet the current needs of our campus community. We look forward to working with you this year.
Current assessment activities include information on a range of projects and activities recently completed or currently underway to gauge student learning, make improvements, or respond to accountability interests.

Matrix Pilot Program
The Ellbogen Center for Teaching & Learning (ECTL) Assessment Teach 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).
