“…This software offers various course assessment methods, data import, assessment metrics, rubric or gradebook entry, performance review, course progress tracker, system generated course assessment reports, faculty training and support. This enables the course instructor to improve the course and supports the program leader plan for continuous enhancement (James-Okeke et al , 2013).…”

Purpose This study aims to identify the gap between the requirements of the accreditation bodies and the widely used learning management systems (LMSs) in assessing the intended learning outcomes (ILOs). In addition, this study aims to introduce a framework, along with the evaluation of the functionality of the LMS, for measuring the ILO. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative method was deployed to examine the gap between the requirements of the accreditation standards and the LMS functionalities. The researchers collaborated to design a mechanism, develop a system architecture to measure the ILO in alignment with the accreditation standards and guide the development of the Moodle plugin. The appropriateness and effectiveness of the plugin were evaluated within the scope of assessment mapping and design. Focus group interviews were conducted to collect feedback from the instructors and program leaders regarding its implementation. Findings The results of this study indicate that there is no standardized mechanism to measure course and program ILO objectively, using the existing LMS. The implementation of the plugin shows the appropriateness and effectiveness of the system in generating ILO achievement reports, which was confirmed by the users. Originality/value This study proposed a framework and developed a system architecture for the objective measurement of the ILO through direct assessment. The plugin was tested to generate consistent reports during the measurement of course and program ILO. The plugin has been implemented across Gulf University’s program courses, ensuring appropriate reporting and continuous improvement.

The cycle of measuring learning outcomes and evaluation of academic programs ‎is a systematic and iterative process designed to assess the effectiveness of educational ‎programs and ensure the achievement of desired learning outcomes. It serves as an essential ‎framework for educational institutions to assess program effectiveness, make informed ‎decisions for improvement, and ultimately ensure the achievement of desired learning ‎outcomes. In this study, the authors address the various learning outcomes and the assessments ‎related to these learning outcomes, as well as how they are employed as indicators of the ‎amount to which the program's graduation qualities are attained. This chapter emphasizes the ‎significance of ongoing review and improvement in assessing learning results.‎
