Using Blackboard Outcomes
Blackboard Outcomes Assessment is a set of tools that allow faculty and administrators
to collect samples of student work that can be used for both institutional and program
assessment activities. The tools related to Outcomes Assessment, such as learning
outcomes and rubrics, are integrated into the assessment experience to empower evidence-based
decision making.
