Increased demands for accountability among state and federal policy makers require that colleges and universities improve the process of measuring student learning outcomes. Despite a growing need, there has been limited development of integrated, electronic processes and tools that facilitate assessment of student progress toward program-level learning outcomes. Collecting student course materials, classifying by program and course-level objectives and reporting the results remains a tedious and labor-intensive task. This project demonstrates how course-level assessment data from a learning management system (LMS) can be utilized for program-level outcomes assessment. A pilot system was developed to integrate data from a LMS to provide continuous reporting of program and course-level assessment with minimal additional effort from faculty and students. This chapter shares the authors’ outcomes assessment system development approach, faculty development approach, and the lessons learned from their project, including the challenges confronted during system implementation.

Since the school year of 2014-2015, the learning management system, Classera, has been implemented in many K-12 schools in Saudi Arabia with the aim of improving teaching and learning. In this study, an online survey was used to collect data to explore Saudi Arabia private and public school teacher differences in experiences with the use of Classera, and their satisfaction levels, perceived benefits, and perceived challenges in using Classera. The findings from this study have implications for the further implementation and adoption of Classera in the educational system in Saudi Arabia.
