Technology Analysis

icon bs cis aol

For the Computer Information Systems program, 8 students were assessed on the technology outcome in BUSI 4359 and BCIS 4350 during the fall semester of 2021 using a single measure. The measure was an objective assessment delivered through Canvas mapped to a six-item technology rubric. The aggregated results indicated that 50% met the target. Students tended to perform best on the “Demonstrates the ability to correctly identify and use standard computer hardware” item with 100% meeting the target. Students tended to have the most difficulty with the “Demonstrates an ability to navigate and utilize features of software” item with 38% meeting the target.

As indicated in the results table, the results were similar across all locations where the program is available. Following is a list of locations, the number of students assessed, and the percent of students that met the target: Stephenville: 6 students, 50%; Online: 2 students, 50%. Not all of the targets were met for this outcome so an action plan will be developed and implemented in Fall 2022 to improve student learning for the technology outcome.
