The EduMetry Five-Step Process

Step 5: Recommend Action

The final step in EduMetry’s assessment-of-learning process is deriving recommendations. We are guided strictly by the findings from analyzing SLO data. As an external provider of assessment services, we bear the added responsibility of producing work that is beyond reproach and that can withstand the harshest of scrutiny. At the same time, for faculty to accept the findings and for administrators to be able to implement our recommendations, EduMetry’s work must be sound methodologically and analytically, as well as adhere to the standards of rigorous empirical research.

Triangulate™

That’s why we developed Triangulate™ — a process of synthesizing quantitative and qualitative insights into a series of cogent recommendations. Quantitative data refers to the findings from SLO data analysis which can be reasonably precise. Qualitative data refer to the insights gathered from curriculum mapping and course-level mapping of SLOs. Any recommendation for closing the loop must integrate both sets of insights.

Expert Service

Our work is supervised by Ph.D.- and Master’s-level experts. To stand up to scrutiny and meet our exacting quality standards, the outcomes from Triangulate™ must be conceptually and methodologically sound. They also must conform to the standards of rigorous empirical research.
