Abstract

Introduction

Validation of learning has long been pursued by programs that desire to confirm the transfer of knowledge (Mirchandani, Lynch, and Hamilton, 2001). Moreover, pressure from accrediting agencies has led universities and business schools to increase their attention to assessment and assurance of learning. From the perspective of the university, the assessment continuum ranges from institutional measures to program measures to course measures. While each point on this continuum uses similar methodologies and are highly dependent, each level should have a different group of stakeholders (Huba and Freed, 2000). In this paper, we describe an approach to assess and assure learning as an extension of the assessment model - at the course level.
