Why Direct Evidence of Student Learning (DESL)?Faculty and instructors evaluate student learning to answer key questions:
• Are my students learning what I expect? • Are the course activities aligned with the learning outcomes?• What concepts or ideas need further explanation or delineation? • Are students making progress? • Overall, how will I know that learning has taken place?
Direct assessments align with campus Learning Analytics efforts.Required for program-level assessment reporting.
