Previously, the university used paper methods to manually collected data on students’ internship experiences and to do assessment as part of their educational schedules. The system was less efficient with limited data. Partnering with Campus Labs, the administrators could replace these assessment practices with centralized online solution using the Campus Labs assessment tool and has seen a significant improvement in its data analysis capabilities. “The Campus Labs tool has helped us track how we’re providing students with opportunities to achieve. Now we have more concrete evidence,” says Linda Pursley, Director of Assessment and Institutional Research, Lesley University.
