ACADEMIC AND CO-CURRICULAR PROGRAMS
Recommendation: The university should enhance its ability to demonstrate the attainment of student learning outcomes that are directly linked to the educational objectives of PLU. Adequate services and support for assessment should be provided universitywide so as to assist in the assessment efforts of all departments and programs.
Technology The coming decade will witness an expanding role for technology in higher education. The use of technology in teaching and learning will continue to evolve in the years ahead as new students and faculty come to the university with a high level of competency in the social and casual use of technology. The challenge will be to effectively and appropriately employ that competency to provide a high-quality education, and for this to happen both faculty and students will need support. Recommendation: The university should broaden its ongoing efforts to support the evolving use of technology in our academic, co-curricular, and living, learning and work environments. This includes enhancing our instructional design capabilities, and further providing our faculty, staff and students with the necessary tools and support to work effectively.
