Few topics have permeated the higher education landscape in the past several years more than academic assessment and the issue of how colleges can better assess student learning. From legislators and politicians, to the general public and the media, there are seemingly endless calls for colleges and universities to share evidence of their effectiveness. George Kuh, the founding director and senior scholar at the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment, joins Ikenberry, Jankowski, Cain, Ewell, Hutchings, and Kenzie (2015) to outline approaches to the assessment process in Using Evidence of Student Learning to Improve Higher Education.
