Aligning Rubric Results from Outcomes Assessment Projects

If an organization is using OAP for assessment and Watermark Navigator to authenticate for Planning & Self-Study and OAP, assessment leads can pull assessment results from OAP into measures in Planning & Self-Study. To do this, an assessment lead will follow these steps:

  • Either create a new measure or add results to an existing one. Create a new measure and select “Align Rubric”.The Add Measure page showing fields for Method, Outcome, Program, Course with a non‑course option, and Title, followed by a Results Collection section with an Align Results button below.
  • Select OAP as the source from which to pull measure results. The system will then authenticate automatically to access the rubric results data in OAP. Users will be able to view the projects that they have permission to access in OAP.

    The Align Results modal showing program and outcome details at the top, followed by instructions and a Source field displaying options for Outcomes Assessment Projects and Student Learning & Licensure, with the buttons Cancel and Next at the bottom.

  • Select the outcome which has the relevant rubric aligned. Choose the specific rubric criteria and define the Met Thresholds to use to ensure the results accurately reflect the measurement. (You'll need to scroll down before you can click Align)

    The Align Results modal showing program and outcome details at the top, followed by an Outcome dropdown set to Creative Thinking, rubric information, and a Criteria section displaying a list of selectable rubric criteria in a scrollable panel, with the buttons Back and Align at the bottom.

  • Set the filters to use to pull relevant data for the rubric and measure.

The Measure 1 page showing a Filters section with fields for Project, Assignment, Course, and Term, followed by an Apply Filters button and the Save & Close button in the top right.

Once applied, the filtered results from OAP will display in the measure in Planning & Self-Study, as well as in the Annual Report generated from within Planning & Self-Study. The user can refresh the results to incorporate new data captured in OAP by selecting the “Refresh Results” button.

The Results section showing rubric information with an Aligned status, buttons for Edit Filters and Refresh Results, and two horizontal proficiency charts displaying percentages for Met and Not Met across different criteria.
