Quality curriculum design and assessment processes are essential for promoting student competency development and demonstrating institutional effectiveness. As faculty have a key role in these efforts, it is important that they are equipped with adequate tools and support. A backward design model with embedded assessments aligned to industry standards is an approach that provides a clear process for faculty to design courses that engage students through formative and summative assessments with personalized feedback. Further, real-time analyses are possible via technology-enabled learning platforms which yields data to support the faculty-student dyad in the learning process. It also positions assessment specialists, administrators, and faculty to drive and systematically assess the impact of data-informed quality improvements to curricula. Administrative and institutional support is essential to establishing and sustaining a mature culture of assessment in which the relationships among teaching, learning, and assessment are recognized.
