Why Direct Evidence of Student Learning (DESL)? Faculty and instructors evaluate student learning to answer key questions: • Are my students learning what I expect? • Are the course activities aligned with the learning outcomes? • What concepts or ideas need further explanation or delineation? • Are students making progress? • Overall, how will I know that learning has taken place? Direct assessments align with campus Learning Analytics efforts. Required for program-level assessment reporting.
