Evidence of Student Learning - Internal: How will the program measure what I have learned?:

AIU Online assesses student assignments and maps them directly to specific program learning outcomes. This assessment demonstrates the link between performance skills and program outcomes. The data below is from the Quarter 4, 2009 period. **We do not have a statistically significant sample number to report on for the Quarter 2, 2010 period. We will update this data as soon as possible.** 

Average Assessment Results for the Assignments Mapped to Specific Program Learning Outcomes:

-Create and manage databases = 80%

-Develop a network design and implementation plan = 87%

-Evaluate the development of enterprise information systems and the management of projects and development teams = 85%

-Explain networking models and protocols = 84%

-Explain the software development life cycle = 84%

-Identify and analyze current trends, opportunities, and challenges in information management = 91%

-Research and select new technologies for use in information systems = 88%

-Use object-oriented programming concepts to create applications =82%
