Overview
Key Assignments are designated course assignments selected by programs to assess specific Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs). These assignments play a critical role in collecting meaningful assessment data and supporting continuous programmatic improvement, as required by SACSCOC and other accrediting bodies.
Key Assignments are managed and updated within Canvas delivery courses, and it is essential that course content is copied from the delivery course to ensure proper data collection. Canvas facilitates the scoring and reporting of SLO data through integrated rubrics.
