Assessment Types

Outcome-Based Assessment

Automatically measure learning outcomes from assessment performance and convert exam data into evidence of educational effectiveness.

Outcome-Based Assessment in DigiAssess
Institutional challenge

Institutions may conduct many assessments but still struggle to prove whether students achieved the intended learning outcomes. Outcome reporting is often manual, delayed, and dependent on spreadsheets.

The DigiAssess solution

DigiAssess connects assessment items, exams, courses, programs, and frameworks so institutions can automatically measure CLOs, PLOs, attainment levels, gaps, and improvement opportunities.
