Assessment of Unit Effectiveness, Constituent Satisfaction and Learning Outcomes in Non-instructional Units. Presenter. Larry Kelley, Executive Director, Regional Networks

A User-Friendly System for Managing Assessment Plans and Tracking Resulting Data. Larry Kelley will demonstrate how Whippleware can be used to benefit both service units and instructional programs. The system, which carries a very reasonable one-time price tag, will enable you to track assessment plans and resulting data over a period of years and to tie assessment results to primary functions (service units) or program outcomes and course objectives (instructional programs).

Regional Networks associates will facilitate hands-on sessions in which attendees will develop assessment plans for the following year.

*Note: not all topics will be covered in each conference.
