The Blackboard Outcomes System™ helps institutions efficiently meet the demand for increased accountability and drive academic improvement with evidence-based decisions. This powerful academic effectiveness solution extends your familiar, easy-to-use Blackboard environment to support a culture of assessment and campus-wide excellence.

The Blackboard Outcomes System makes planning and assessment easier and evidence-based by helping institutions achieve:

• Improved student learning and academic effectiveness
• More efficient assessment and easier accreditation
• Increased faculty engagement in assessment

Arm yourself with facts. It’s hard to improve academic effectiveness without rich, multifaceted evidence of student learning. Quickly collect and analyze multiple, authentic measures of student learning to make more informed decisions.  Drive continuous improvement through organized, transparent quality processes with a platform that adapts to your departments, not the other way around.

Focus on your mission. With burdensome manual processes, meeting increased accreditation requirements is time-consuming and costly. Make it easier to manage your planning activities and meet accreditation requirements for assessing student learning. In the process, you’ll make assessment less daunting and free up valuable resources for teaching, learning and research.

Engage your campus. It’s universally challenging to build a sustainable culture of inquiry and evidence on campus. Make assessment activities easier while leveraging existing Blackboard technology that’s already familiar to students, faculty and staff. Help faculty build communities of practice and share best practices with industry-leading collaboration capabilities. Support sustainable assessment as a process of improvement through local ownership and control.
