Performance Results Scale and Key Assessments
The Performance Results Scale and Key Assessment Indicator provide a shared framework to interpret, aggregate, and visualize learning outcome performance consistently across assessments. These capabilities establish critical institutional foundations that support Blackboard Outcomes and enable meaningful, longitudinal measurement of student learning.
Institutions can:
Identify assignments as Key Assessments used for measuring learning outcomes, skills, or competencies for the course
Define a consistent, institution-wide scale and default thresholds for interpreting outcome performance
Set custom thresholds on assignments to aggregate and compare assessment results across courses, programs, and terms
Allow institutions to sync scales from Blackboard, ensuring consistency, integrity, and alignment in assessment measures and configuration with Outcomes
