Banta, T.W., Griffin, M., Flateby, T.L. & Kahn, S. (2009, December) Occassional Paper No. 2 by National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA)

Of the various ways to assess student learning outcomes, many faculty members prefer what are called "authentic" approaches that document student performance during or at the end of a course or program of study. In this paper, assessment experts Trudy Banta, Merilee Griffin, Teresa Flateby, and Susan Kahn describe the development of several promising authentic assessment approaches. The contributors draw on their rich assessment experience to illustrate how portfolios, common analytic rubrics, and online assessment communities can more effectively link assessment practices to pedagogy.

Wellman, J.V. (2010, January) Occasional Paper No. 3 by National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (NILOA)

"With all the talk about the need for more accountability, surprisingly little is known about what kind of resources an institution needs in order to produce a given level of student attainment. Jane Wellman charts this territory and discovers some surprises, such as how conclusions about cost-effectiveness change when the metric is cost-per-degree rather than the traditional cost-per-enrollment. One result is that, contrary to popular belief, community colleges are not cheap when it comes to cost-per-degree. Another important insight-again against the grain of conventional wisdom-is that simply investing more money does not appear to produce more or better outcomes. As Wellman points out, the key to productivity is intentionally targeted investments."
