For accreditation. eLumen™ improves the quality and effectiveness of data, while significantly reducing the work related to preparing for re-affirmation of accreditation. When you use eLumen to assess student work, eLumen aggregates department, program and institution data for you. For greater collaboration and interaction. eLumen turns data collection into a powerful way of interacting with the educational process itself, at the student, course, department/program, and organization levels. For the future of higher education. eLumen’s flexible platform can support an institution’s current use of SLOs (student learning outcomes) and point the way to the future: defining programs and degrees by expected learning outcomes and evaluating student work as evidence of these. For institution-wide data on real student learning outcomes. eLumen offers instant access to assessment criteria and outcomes throughout your institution, providing meaningful and real-time data with just a click of the mouse. |

Build a library of expected student learning outcomes and rubrics. This library can be used by the institution as a whole, or in individual programs/departments, courses and other contexts to evaluate student learning. With eLumen, student learning outcomes (educational objectives) become the DNA that generates the content of any institution’s educational program. | |
Distribute slos and rubrics throughout the curriculum and co-curriculum. Link the library of SLOs and rubrics to courses and co-curricular settings throughout the institution via a top-down distribution method or a bottom-up method—in which instructors, coordinators, and other evaluators adopt them within courses or other contexts. | |
Design the student activities that will demonstrate student achievement. Instructors, coordinators, and other evaluators can create student activities to be assessed and link activities to appropriate learning outcomes. This process can start with either the student activities or the learning outcomes. | |
Evaluate individual student work or activities as evidence for specific learning outcomes. Everyone participating can focus on the student achievement they most care about, using rubrics to record how well a student has achieved any learning outcome. | |
Generate real-time data and create the opportunity to respond. While eLumen simplifies and facilitates the entire assessment process, you may find even greater benefit in its reports—instantly aggregated data that shows actual student achievement. This data is available immediately to the appropriate individuals who can respond, and even record that response, accordingly. The full range of instructional support and student support services staff are included in this dynamic process. Student involvement is optional. | |
