Ethics Assessed: An Interdisciplinary Effort to Develop Standards for Automated Learning Assessment in IT Courses

Abstract

To prepare for ABET accreditation in the Bachelor of Science in Information Technology program, educational objectives were updated with input from constituency groups and student learning outcomes were revised to align with those required by the ABET criteria. This paper describes the project and process that IT program faculty, in collaboration with an instructional developer, initiated to improve assessment and reporting under ABET criteria. This work-in-progress, although embedded within the university-wide learning management system, is of broader applicability, functioning as a semi-automated tool for standardizing evaluation of learning outcomes in other IT programs as well.
