The rapid shift to an online instructional mode necessitated by COVID-19 has been a formidable challenge for most institutions but particularly for those in which online learning was not widely implemented before the pandemic. Assessment has been an additional challenge, coupled with the accreditation requirements that higher educational institutions currently face. Remote instruction caused the Senate Assessment Council (SAC) at a mid-sized state university in New Jersey to envision assessment-related issues in the new online context to create an effective instructional system for online learning. In the spirit of continuous improvement, members of the SAC developed and disseminated a survey to the faculty to identify the kinds of assessment support they would need and to improve assessment for Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) in online instruction. This article shares the findings from the survey, along with suggestions for other institutions that might face similar challenges.
