¡ Providing Evidence of Transparency Framework Student Learning: A Transparency Framework Based on the research of nearly 1000 institutional websites, the Transparency Framework provides guidance to institutions as they examine how to present learning outcomes assessment information on their websites. http://www.learningoutcomeassessment.org/TransparencyFramework.htm

Why We Used the Transparency Framework  IUPUI has a wide range of assessment activities.  Unfortunately, they are spread all over the web.  We needed a single point of contact for people interested in our assessment plans and activities.  The Transparency Framework provided an excellent organizing scheme (and we used it!)

Simple ways to enhance transparency  Place a link to assessment information on the home page  Explain why something is password protected  Add a brief explanation of institutional surveys
