Assessment reporting at IUP is primarily done through Nuventive IMPROVE, a planning and outcomes assessment software that is used by universities around the country to meet accreditation standards.
This web-based relational database allows IUP faculty and staff to enter strategic plans or learning outcome goals, then track specific indicators and results over time to assess where potential changes would have the most impact. Reports can easily be customized for individual programs or for entire colleges, depending on assessment needs.
Any program that wishes to input assessment results directly into IMPROVE and/or use it to track their strategic actions for review or specific program accreditation purposes can apply for user-level access to IMPROVE. One-on-one training in the use of IMPROVE or individual consulting on the development of assessment plans can be provided as well.
