Why is ISU doing the Institutional Artifact Portfolio process for General Education assessment?
The Institutional Artifact Portfolio process provides a comprehensive method to evaluate the institution’s process of accomplishing the 12 goals of General Education. General Education assessment also supports teaching and learning in the disciplines by providing an accurate representation of student abilities prior to their introduction to the major. Lastly, the General Education Program at ISU also realizes many of the requirements of systematic review of educational outcomes by external constituencies such as the state government and various accrediting agencies.
