BLACKBOARD OUTCOMES RESOURCES

Welcome to the Faculty Resources page of the MSU Denver Blackboard Outcomes Help & Support Site. This page will provide resources that are designed to help faculty and evaluators use Blackboard Outcomes for the assessment of student work.

BLACKBOARD OUTCOMES

Blackboard Outcomes is the software tool used by numerous MSU Denver academic departments to assess student work. Outcomes is a component of MSU Denver's Learning Management System, Blackboard Learn. You can create assessment projects to collect evidence from courses that are relevant for a specific project or assessment activity. For example, an assessment project is created to search and collect all assignment submissions from courses within a particular program that are aligned to a specific goal. If you would like information how your department could start using Outcomes, please contact the Office of Curriculum and Academic Effectiveness at 303-352-4495.
