Assessment at UNO: Now and in the Future
by Sheri Rogers, Associate Vice Chancellor and Director of Assessment
UNO’s decision to take the Academic Quality Improvement Program (AQIP) path to accreditation has made it imperative that we move forward in articulating our expectations for student learning at all levels. This means that we must clearly state:
- What students will know and be able to do
- How we will know it
- How we are going to use the information we collect to continuously improve student learning...continue
Welcome
This website is intended to be both a resource and a tool for helping the UNO community to deepen its commitment as an AQIP institution to the continuous improvement of student learning, by advancing our knowledge and understanding of assessment as a necessary part of that process.
Please note that the site is divided into Faculty and Staff tabs at top left, so that you can find the information you need as quickly as possible.
Like assessment itself, this website is meant to be dynamic and fluid. Be sure to check back often to see the new resources, tools and opportunities that are available. Also, if you have any suggestions for materials, resources, etc., that you would like to see made available, please do not hesitate to email your ideas to assessment@unomaha.edu.

- Accomplishing Other Distinctive Objectives
- Understanding Students and Other Stakeholders’ needs
- Valuing People
- Leading and Communicating
- Supporting Institutional Operations
- Measuring Effectiveness
- Planning Continuous Improvement
- Building Collaborative Relationships
