"Trends in Assessment" provides readers with a survey of the state-of-the-art of the enduring assessment concepts and approaches developed over the past twenty-five years, and includes chapters by acknowledged experts who describe how emerging assessment trends and ideas apply to their programs and pedagogies, covering: (1) Community Engagement; (2) ePortfolios; (3) Faculty Development; (4) Global Learning; (5) Graduate and Professional Education; (6) High-Impact Practices; (7) Learning Improvement and Innovation; (8) Assessment Trends from NILOA; (9) STEM; and (10) Student Affairs Programs and Services. The concluding chapters point to a future of assessment and identify several meta-trends in assessment. The book was conceived by organizers and contributors of the Assessment Institute in Indianapolis, the nation's oldest and largest higher education assessment event, and includes contributions by the following partners of the Institute: Association for the Assessment of Learning in Higher Education (AALHE); Association for Authentic, Experiential, and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL); Association for General and Liberal Studies (AGLS); Association for Institutional Research (AIR); Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U); Center for Postsecondary Research (CPR)/National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE); and Higher Education Data Sharing Consortium (HEDS). "Trends in Assessment" serves as a vital resource for faculty, student affairs professionals, administrators, anyone involved in accreditation, and scholars in the field.
