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).
"The University of Wyoming (UW) Assessment Matrix: Using Technologies to Advance Assessment for Student Learning" - UW Assessment Matrix presentation included in the 2023 Assessment Institute (Conference Program | page 38) in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Recruitment of programs to utilize the Assessment Matrix is ongoing and programs interested in utilizing the Assessment Matrix are encouraged to email Heather at hwebb1@uwyo.edu. You can find more information at the Assessment Matrix website.
Workshops, academies, sponsorship to attend virtual webinars and conferences, assessment library, consultations (one-on-one, program and/or department), and assessment book purchases are all available to instructors and staff seeking support in the area of assessment for student learning. We encourage you to connect with us by attending an event, completing the ECTL Consultation Form and/or emailing Heather at hwebb1@uwyo.edu.
