University-Wide Assessment during COVID-19: An Opportunity for Innovation
Pastor, Dena; Love, Paula
Intersection: A Journal at the Intersection of Assessment and Learning, v2 n1 Fall 2020
For more than 30 years, James Madison University (JMU) has used Assessment Days to collect longitudinal data on student learning outcomes. Our model ensures that all incoming students are tested twice: once in August before beginning classes and again in February after accumulating 45-70 credit hours (Pastor, Foelber, Jacovidis, Fulcher & Love, 2019). Although a student completes only four instruments each Assessment Day, 25 different assessments are administered, thereby allowing for the examination of student growth on a variety of different outcomes. Various changes have been made to Assessment Day throughout the years, but none as dramatic as those we are making to the August 2020 Assessment Day in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
