- Suggested Narrative Prompts and Action Steps to Complete Your SLO Assessment Narrative
After you have completed your SLO assessment for your course, please go to the Insights menu item in your course and review your data and enter your Narrative and Action Steps (if needed).
If you don’t see your SLOs (outcomes) on your Insights Dashboard, please submit a Distance Education Support ticket.
Narrative prompts: To complete your SLO report, you will need to write a narrative that reflects upon your interpretation of data. Your narrative does not need to be comprehensive; instead, it should be only 1-2 paragraphs. Here are some topics you might consider:
- What was particularly successful in this class?
- What was the biggest challenge, either for you or students?
- Which Outcomes were particularly challenging to assess?
- If you tried something new in this class, how did it turn out? Would you do it again?
- How did students respond to one of your modules?
- Are your course activities appropriate for meeting the learning outcomes?
Action Steps:
- Update course material
- Revise an assignment
- Revise an assessment method
- Review the Course Outline of Record (COR) with your department
- Review academic standards with your department
