Uncovering Academic Assessment Practices

Academic assessment is a vital function in higher education that helps institutions meet compliance requirements and ensure quality, yet many still see it as a bureaucratic exercise that takes up valuable faculty and staff time. To better understand how institutions handle academic assessment, including their current practices and challenges, Coursedog surveyed 189 higher education assessment professionals in the United States and Canada.

This white paper aims to help higher education professionals better understand the assessment landscape and how to drive meaningful change. It highlights key findings about how institutions are staffed, the tools they use, and the biggest hurdles they face.
