• In Event: Innovative Approaches for Developing and Assessing Student Learning Outcomes in Higher Education

Abstract

The interrater reliability for an adapted version of the AAC&U Written Communication VALUE Rubric is being detailed through two institutional studies using the Multi-Facted Rasch Model (MFRM). Results from the pilot study reveal good interrater reliability ranges. The analysis for the main study is forthcoming using the same analytical model. The implication for a shift towards authentic assessment in institutional outcome assessment studies is discussed.
