Abstract
With higher education under increased pressure to prove accountability, ETS researchers developed a framework to improve, revise and introduce comprehensive systems for the collection and dissemination of information on student learning outcomes. This report presents a practical approach to help the educational community meet the call for accountability while respecting the diverse attributes of students, faculty and the institutions themselves.
