Status and action reports for SLO assessment by the departments
STATUS |
Click HERE to see a form that you can use to get a report for any division or department or discipline, with their itemized status for course SLO assessment. There's another version of the report that also included Title 5 rewrite status -- click HERE for that one, and choose either a status report or an action report. The latter is the shorter, excluding courses that are up to date and not due in this academic year. |

SLO online assessment surveys
 |
Online course SLO assessments are conducted with SurveyMonkey.com.
Instructors can send their students to another page in this website to take an assessment survey specific to their section of the course.
Online assessment surveys can be (1) self-assessment surveys based on achievement rubrics, (2) self-assessment surveys based on the Likert scale, or (3) quizzes.
Online assessments are available for many DVC courses.
To see how this works, click HERE to access a list of sample quizzes, which you may take.
Click HERE for instructions on using SurveyMonkey.com for online SLO assessments. |
SLO assessment calendar
| Each discipline has committed to perform assessments on 20% or more of their courses per calendar year.
Click HERE to see the calendar for any division or department or discipline -- be sure to choose to "show the calendar" in the form presented.
Note that the calendar also shows the dates for the next Title 5 rewrites to be completed per course.
If you want changes in the schedule for your course, click HERE
to contact the Instructional SLO Facilitator via email.
Explain the nature of your proposed change and your wishes will be accommodated if possible.

The SLO assessment process is designed to be "easy, useful, and accessible". Excel spreadsheets are available for instructors to gather and report SLO assessment results. There are also Excel spreadsheets for department chairs to use in collecting instructors' assessment results, which provide many different ways of looking at the data and deciding where to start discussions in their departments.
INSTRUCTORS: click HERE for the instructor spreadsheets -- note that there is a long form and a short form, with and without student-by-student breakouts. Use this as a collection point for assessment results reported on instructors' long and short forms.
CHAIRS: click HERE for the chair's discipline form (a.k.a. summary spreadsheet).
HELP: Yes, this whole process is "accessible"! If you need help of any kind in getting your form or completing it, click HERE

Course/program alignment matrices
| An "alignment matrix" for a program shows the SLOs for the program arranged vertically, and the major required courses and electives arranged horizontally.
At the intersection of each SLO and course, there is an "X" if that course's objectives directly support that SLO.
The general education sequences are broken out in terms of their specific areas, such as IGETC area 3A.
Click HERE to see a form that you can use to get the alignment matrix for any instructional program.
If you want changes in a matrix for your program, click HERE
to contact the Instructional SLO Facilitator via email.
Explain the changes that you want and they will be made fror you.

eSLOs database on the Research server
| After all assessments are completed by departments, and action plans are devised, summaries are written in the eSLOs database by department faculty to document the process and to inform status reports and program reviews.
Supporting evidence, including emails, meeting notes, and completed Excel tracking spreadsheets, are kept by the departments -- only summaries are reported for campus-wide viewing.
It's the "plan activation date" entry on the "action plan" tab that signifies that a department has completed an assessment cycle on an outcome.
Click HERE
for the eSLOs system.
And yes, this whole process is "accessible"! If you need help of any kind in operating eSLOs, click HERE
to contact the Instructional SLO Facilitator via email.
Explain what changes that you want and they will be made for you.
