Institutions of higher education are increasingly required to document enhancements in the pedagogical arena. Accreditation requirements include the systematic establishment of program and student learning outcomes and assessment of the attainment of these. This process has been labor-intensive and inconsistent for most institutions. Our process is an efficient method for any institution to create and measure the attainment of program and student learning objectives. By setting up assignments and rubrics within the Canvas Learning Management System with a simple prefix tag (standardized for each school for program and student learning objectives), we can automatically report each of the accreditation-related measurements and analyze the results.
