Web Corner

	Major meta-lists for assessment and institutional research September/October 1997, v9#5, p. 15. E. Schechter, C. Johnson, A. Testa. Text & links updated July 2004.
	Web Corner is a new regular feature of Assessment Update. It will help you tap into the growing number of higher-education assessment resources on the World Wide Web and elsewhere on the Internet. This first column is about Starting Points, Web pages that list, link to, and give you some information about hundreds of other assessment-related pages. The links let you jump from the Starting Point pages to the other resources. Future Web Corners will have information about Web pages or other Internet resources on some specific topic such as outcomes assessment plans actually being used for majors in various college and university departments, or email discussion lists about assessment in higher education. *Starting Points* Internet Resources for Higher Education Outcomes Assessment This is an annotated list of links maintained at North Carolina State University. It has links to general resources--discussion groups, forums, archives of articles, lists of links, etc. pages about assessment of specific skills or content. assessment-related pages at individual colleges and universities. pages for higher education accrediting bodies. information about student assessment of courses & faculty. Internet Resources for Institutional Research This is an extensive page of links to information about higher education, including but not limited to assessment resources. The map of links is a topical menu. Update Note: The original column included resources provided by ERIC (Educational Resources Information Center), which was a service of the US Department of Education's National Library of Education. The links included an annotated meta-list of assessment-related Web pages, and the ERIC Clearinghouse on Assessment and Education, a searcheable database with hundreds of articles on assessment, evaluation, statistics, and educational research. The U.S. Department of Education shut ERIC down early in 2004, although it continues to maintain the pre-2004 Clearinghouse database. You can search the database via SearchERIC.org or the Educator's Reference Desk. Full-text articles are available in or can be obtained through college, university, or other academic libraries.
