Abstract EN
Accreditation criteria of computing and engineering programs require effective learning outcomes assessment with documented procedures, tools, results, and actions to close the assessment loop with broad faculty involvement.
This paper describes a methodology for providing quantitative measurement of a course learning outcomes.
The methodology uses a linkage matrix that associate each course learning outcome to one or more course assessment tool.
The approach adopted provides a numeric score between 0 and 1 for each learning outcome with respect to each assessment tool and a combined score will be calculated for each learning outcome from the tools associated with that outcome.
The proposed methodology also provides insights into the consistency of the various assessment tool used to measure the achievement of a particular course learning outcome.
The methodology described here has been successfully adopted in obtaining accreditation to for various computing degree programs offered by the College of Information Technology at Ajman University of Science & Technology.
