Add + Edit Outcome Sets

Updated: October 2022

Description: Together, Outcomes Sets create an outcome library in AEFIS - shelved with different types of outcomes such as: 

• Accreditor 
• Institution
• Academic Units (College, Department)
• Non Academic Units (Administrative Unit, Administrative Division)

Outcome Sets may be brought into Programs, and related to Program Learning Outcomes, or mapped directly to Courses/Course Learning Outcomes. They provide a space to collect aggregated data on common outcomes shared across programs within the same department, college or in the entire institution, to provide big picture reporting on student learning achievement in alignment with the institutional goals.  These outcomes can be included in Data Collections for assessment planning and reporting as well.

Applicable to: Institution Admin, College Admin, Department Admin
