Sharing assessment results is a great practice to get staff and student buy-in with the assessment process, improve assessment practices, and learn from one another. This webinar shares information on what makes data useful and best practices in creative ways to share your data with various audiences. During each webinar we will be joined by a Member Campus who will share how they implemented a best practice strategy at their institution.
