Creating an Assessment Plan Review

In Planning & Self-Study, Program assessment plans are able to be reviewed via rubric evaluation.

Creating a New Review

The administrator can create a review for an organization with a unique title, due date, rubric for evaluation and can then allocate it to multiple organizations. You can assign one reviewer to a specific organization or to multiple organizations, allowing for an easy routing experience.

The Review Details page showing Review Title field filled with ‘BA Literature Review’, Due Date field showing ‘04/30/2022’ with calendar button, Assessment Plan Rubric dropdown showing ‘Review Rubric 21‑22’ with View Rubric button, and Assign Reviewer button under Reviewers section.

The Assign a Reviewer panel showing a list of selectable reviewers with names and email addresses, along with Cancel and Next buttons at the bottom.

The Assign a Reviewer panel showing reviewer name field, search bar, options for auto‑select children and show unselected only, a list of selectable organizations, count of organizations selected, and Back and Finish buttons.

The Reviews tab showing a list of reviews with run dates and status labels, along with a Create New Review button and Export button, and a snackbar notification stating that a review was launched.

Rubric creation

Rubrics for reviewing assessment plans can be created by the administrator. There are up to five proficiency levels and multiple criteria for evaluation, as well as a point value and a description for each criterion and proficiency level.

Create a rubric and establish a review process by navigating to the Plans area on the left-hand side of your homepage and open the assessment plan for which you wish to establish a review. Once in the plan, select the Reviews option in the top-center of the screen. On the following page, the Rubrics button will appear to the right. Select this, followed by "Create New Rubric."

The Create New Review page showing Review Title field filled with ‘BA French Review’, Due Date field showing a date, Assessment Plan Rubric dropdown with View Rubric button, Reviewers section listing two reviewers with organization counts, and Assign New Reviewer button, along with a Create Review button in the header.

Email Notification for the Reviewer

After a reviewer is assigned and an assigned assessment plan is submitted, the reviewer will receive an email notification that the plan is ready for review. If the reviewer is assigned later in the process and multiple plans to which they are assigned have already been submitted, they will receive one email notification, rather than multiple emails cluttering their inbox at the same time. The reviewer will receive a reminder email to complete the review within 48 hours of the due date.
