Educational Research and
Evaluation
Since 1976, the Alverno College Educational Research
and Evaluation Office (ERE) has been conducting ongoing research
on student learning outcomes. ERE began tracking entire classes
of students, from entry to graduation and up to five years after
college. Alverno College studies continue to examine relationships
among teaching, learning and assessment in general education and
across different major fields, investigating deep and durable learning,
development and performances.
- Alverno College also has begun collecting data
on its student perceptions through participation in NSSE —
the National Survey of Student Engagement. Alverno's Academic
Affairs office and ERE have collaborated to assist faculty and
staff to use NSSE data for improving student learning. This
report (pdf) reviews our data and helps prospective students
and their families use NSSE results to choose a college and learn
about new strategies faculty have designed to foster even more
student engagement.

- Learning That Lasts: Integrating Learning, Development,
and Performance in College and Beyond, published by Jossey-Bass
in 2000, integrates Alverno’s learning outcomes studies
and analyzes what kind of educational practices foster durable
learning. For more information about this work, go to the
