Linkages: Making the Pieces Fit! Don J. Lind Marla G. Larimore Learning Assessment Coordinators Coffeyville Community College Coffeyville, Kansas
Assumptions: • Your college has a viable assessment program already in operation. • Your institution has produced clearly stated institutional, program, and course outcomes.
Facts: • A monitoring component which looks at student learning is included in: • Institutional Strategic Plans • Program Reviews • This information comes from linkages from each program to its course outcomes.

Decide Method of Testing Rubric? Pre/Post Test? 1. Write in lowest terms: 35b3c2 10a3b9
Mapping Ex: Intermediate Algebra(outcomes mapped to a test with 30 questions)
Reporting Types Enter Data By Rubric By Percent Or By Count
Enter the ‘Links’ Put “X’s” where Course Outcomes link to Program Outcomes
Number of Outcomes Number of Students
Trig Data Counts Course Outcomes 1 & 7 total 15 out of 20 chances to support Program Outcome 1
Template Data Lines Copy Row 100 Out of Each Faculty Template to Drop into Tally Sheet of the Links Program
Input Class Data from Faculty One data line from each faculty class template
Program Report Consists of Data from all Classes Taught in the Program
Benchmarks “A standard of excellence, achievement, etc.” • The Assessment Team (consisting of representatives from faculty, assessment coordinators, and administration) decided to start with a Benchmark of ‘70-70’ for CCC. • This “two dimensional benchmark” means that 70% of the student body will pass course outcomes at a 70% level. • Departments have the option to raise their benchmark.
Utilizing “Links” Templates • This “linking” process allows for rapid change and easy viewing of “What-Ifs”. • The data connecting course outcomes, program outcomes and even the institutional outcomes can be collapsed and simplified by using the “LINKS” templates created at CCC.
