Can leveraging an innovative approach to gathering information on co-curricular learning and learning outcomes assessment practices lead to impactful change? This question guided the implementation and operationalization of the Spartan Experience Record (SER) at Michigan State University (MSU). The SER both provides undergraduate students with a formal, institutional record of their learning accomplishments beyond the classroom and creates a comprehensive dataset regarding what students learn in these co-curricular opportunities. To make the co-curricular student engagement data more useful to faculty, staff, and administrators, data visualization dashboards were created that made data sharing and storytelling easier, which further increased interest and usage of the SER. This article offers key considerations to build data visualizations that bolster student learning outcomes and assessment goals.
