Scholar360 Makes Learning Outcomes Available to Higher Educational Institutions At No Extra Cost

Norfolk, VA (PRWEB) November 23, 2009

Higher education is now embracing the need to objectively measure learning. Accrediting bodies are requiring that institutions outline their goals on multiple levels. Administrators and educators are identifying goals for the campus, for programs, for courses, and for individual students. These goals are connected to one another and are typically part of a larger campus-wide plan.

In the past, matching these goals to academic curriculum has been a challenging process. Educators often specify learning objectives in their syllabi. These objectives, however, are often not easily measured, so it is challenging for educators to see how well students are performing against these objectives. Similarly, it is a challenge for the faculty person to view trends in student performance because the data is overwhelming and not easily managed. The lack of easy-to-use and intuitive tools in other software products has made this a less than enjoyable and efficient process for administrators and faculty alike.

Scholar360 has just released a new Learning Outcomes Management tool that provides administrators and educators with an easy way to implement curriculum in a manner that parallels, tracks, and assesses progress on learning objectives. As the course progresses, faculty view how each student performs across all the objectives. This allows the faculty person an opportunity to focus on student weaknesses and enhance student strengths.

“The Scholar360 Learning Outcome Management tool puts administrators and educators in the driver’s seat,” said Glen Moriarty, president of Scholar360. “Standards are implemented, tracked, and monitored to ensure progress on all fronts. These easy-to-use tools help administrators and educators feel confident and in control.”
