Abstract

Educators who have been through accreditation are well aware of the need for outcomes-based learning and assessment. However, there are misunderstandings about what outcomes based assessment is, and how it can improve teaching and learning. We understand that accreditation requirements can be a reason for adopting outcomes-based assessment, but our real goal is to convey to our readers how outcomes-based assessment can provide meaningful and useful feedback to the instructor regarding student achievement, assessment, and the quality of the instruction.
