Track and Improve Student Learning
The primary goal of student learning assessment is to improve student learning by exposing whether students have learned. This information is then used to inform pedagogical or curricular changes in response to gaps in student achievement, as well as guide individualized interventions for those students who are struggling with particular skills. In addition, student learning assessment can empower students to take charge of their own learning by identifying particular areas of learning that can be improved. When fully set up and utilized, the assessment tools in Canvas provide the information necessary to effectively monitor and improve student learning.
