Organize and assess learning by program, without changing your institutional hierarchy

Learning outcomes don't stop at the edge of a single course. But assessing learning across programs can be challenging when your institution's existing structure doesn't align with your assessment needs.
Academic Programs in Blackboard Outcomes offer a more flexible approach. You can group courses into programs without changing your institutional hierarchy, creating opportunities for cross-program assessment and reporting.
In this Study Hall, Summer Jackson will walk through how Academic Programs work, including setup, connections, and program-level permissions. You'll also explore when Academic Programs are the right fit, how to plan your program structure, and best practices for implementation.

What you'll learn

  • How Academic Programs work: Understand setup, connections, and program-level permissions.
  • When to use Academic Programs: Explore how to plan your program structure based on your institution's assessment needs.
  • How to approach implementation: Learn best practices for rolling out Academic Programs and supporting ongoing assessment.

Who should attend

  • Outcomes administrators
  • Assessment coordinators and directors
  • Faculty and staff responsible for program-level assessment
  • Anyone considering Academic Programs for their institution
