Constituencies (Stakeholders) are broad statements that describe what graduates are expected to attain within a few years of graduation.
Program educational objectives are based on the
needs of the program's constituencies.

Learning Outcomes are statements
that describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the time of graduation. These relate to skills, knowledge, and behaviors that students acquire as they progress through the program.

Performance Indicators are specific, measurable statements identifying the performance(s) required to meet the outcome; confirmable through evidence.

Credit is an award made to a learner in
recognition of the verified achievement of
designated learning outcomes at a specified
level
Level is an indicator of the relative demand,
complexity and depth of learning and of learner
autonomy

Notional Learning Time (Workload) is a number
of hours which it is expected a learner will
spend, on average, in order to accomplish the
specified learning outcomes at a particular
level.

Assessment is one or more processes that identify, collect, and prepare data to evaluate the attainment of student outcomes and program educational objectives.
Effective assessment uses relevant direct, indirect, quantitative and qualitative measures as appropriate to the objective or outcome being measured. Appropriate sampling methods may be used as part of an assessment process.
Evaluation is one or more processes for interpreting the data and evidence accumulated through assessment processes.
Evaluation determines the extent to which student outcomes and program educational objectives are being attained. Evaluation results in decisions and actions regarding program improvement.
Evaluation and Assessment
Workshop on Curricula Design, 10-11.10.2011, Sibiu, Romania
Inputs: - student background;
- faculty background;
- educational resources.
Processes: - programs & services offered;
- populations served;
- faculty teaching loads/class size;
- policies, procedures, governance.
Assessment of inputs and processes only establishes the capability or capacity of a program
Evaluation and Assessment
Workshop on Curricula Design, 10-11.10.2011, Sibiu, Romania
Outputs: - student grades/graduation rates;
- employment statistics;
- publication numbers;
- faculty development activities;
- credit hrs delivered;
- statistics on resource availability;
- participation rates;
Assessment of outputs serve as indirect measures
or proxies for effectiveness—they provide general
indicators of achievement.
Evaluation and Assessment
Workshop on Curricula Design, 10-11.10.2011, Sibiu, Romania
Outcomes: - what have students learned;
- what skills have they gained;
- attitudes developed;
- faculty publication citations data;
- faculty development;
- student learning and growth.
Assessment of outcomes provides for direct measures of the effectiveness of what has been done with that capability/ capacity related to individual learning and growth
