Learning & Assessment

Responding to recent controversies in South Carolina and Alaska, federal panel on accreditation will study how regional agencies should monitor politicians' influence over public colleges.

As scrutiny of college prices and outcomes mounts, a new panel co-chaired by leaders of Gates Foundation and state-college group aims to examine the value of postsecondary credentials.

For decades, American society has reduced student success, or failure, to this number completely absent of any context, Adam Piggott and Tom Solomon argue.

Study examines what colleges say they want students to learn and how they are measuring that learning.

At accrediting conference, panelists acknowledge that effort to measure learning outcomes has been a "hot mess" and that it's time for a better approach.

A growing number of colleges and employers are working together to better use labor-market data in postsecondary training. Two experts discuss what's possible and what's needed.

Professors' reflections on their experiences with 'ungrading' spark renewed interest in the student-centered assessment practice.
