| LUCID is a web-based assessment system that provides a number of novel features, including POGIL activities with interactive models, support for teamwork, peer review, analysis of symbolic responses, and import of responses from paper-based examinations. This presentation will focus on measuring and improving student learning outcomes using LUCID's multidimensional assessment model. Multidimensional assessment goes beyond common score-based assessment by analyzing student responses with respect to learning objectives. A single response may be associated with one or more objectives and can be analyzed to determine which objectives have and have not been met. Taxonomies classify objectives by topic and educational objective (e.g., Bloom's taxonomy), enabling students and instructors to review learning outcomes at varying levels of resolution. Measures of learning outcomes will be presented, and issues in assessing conceptual understanding, assessing the problem solving process, and using such measures to improve student learning will be discussed. The authors gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the NSF (DUE 0341485) for support of this project. |
