Defining and Assessing Student Learning Outcomes

Below are some examples of sets of student learning outcomes (SLOs) and assessment tools developed by various organizations and institutions for global learning activities:

Comprehensive Publications

Guide to Intercultural Skill Development and Assessment
Authors include three current SUNY professors/Administrators: Chandra, Bidhan, Mukherji, Runi, Jagendorf-Sobierajski, Susan, Prusko, Patrice, Smolar, Rebecca

Assessing Global Learning: Matching Good Intentions with Good Practice (AAC&U) 
This concise but comprehensive publication has lots to offer, case studies, sample SLOs, templates, and assessment frameworks. It is designed to help HEIs tackle with confidence the assessment of their goals for global learning, in particular:

• How do we know what students are learning?
• Under what circumstances is such learning enriched or accelerated?
• How might we capture the cumulative impact of students' growing global capacities?
