Year 1 - Vertical Integration (Oregon State University)
Institutional Objectives - Outcome to be achieved
A: Working with Linn-Benton Community College, compare AAOT and AS degree learning objective with the Oregon State University Baccalaureate Core (general education) Category Learning Outcomes for Math, Writing, and Speech.

Linkages - Related institutional initiatives/projects
A: A group of faculty and administrators from OSU and LBCC met over the past year to study ways to improve the transfer student experience at OSU. Recommendations that will be implemented over the coming year include: a) Improve the course articulation process so that students have more timely and accurate information through improved advising materials and more efficient methods for articulation of credits into the OSU student record; b) Improve dissemination of information specific to transfer students’ academic needs through a new transfer communication plan (including a central transfer web presence), better communication between OSU and partner institutions, and new transfer tracks in Visitations and Orientations.
B: This effort is related to the establishment of direct assessment practices as part of Vitalization of the Baccalaureate Core, a multi-year faculty-driven and administratively supported effort to enhance the visibility and impact of OSU’s general education program. The overall objectives of this effort are to a) reinforce cohesion in a widely distributed educational program that touches all OSU undergraduates and b) reconfigure program assessment and management to focus on student learning rather than faculty inputs.

Processes - How outcome will be achieved
A: Representatives from OSU and LBCC will meet to compare the various sets of outcomes (AA, AAOT, Bacc Core). We envision using the DQP framework to develop a common interpretation of the outcome sets to facilitate comparisons across institutions.
B: Assessment processes will be evaluated and revised in collaboration with faculty groups at. The Baccalaureate Core Committee will participate on behalf of OSU. Members of the General Education Team will conduct the analogous work on behalf of LBCC.
C:
Progression - Milestones and dates to achievement
A: Jan 2013: Conduct initial comparison of category learning outcomes in the foundational Skills categories of the Baccalaureate Core (Writing, Math, Speech) with those in LBCC’s AS degree, the AAOT, and the DQP, principally within the areas of Broad Integrative Knowledge and Intellectual Skills.
B: Feb 2013: Meeting with OSU Baccalaureate Core Committee General Education Team at LBCC to share outcome developments and assessment plans.
