Faculty Ownership of the Assurance of Learning Process: Determinants of Faculty Engagement and Continuing Challenges

Abstract

Although this article provides further evidence of serious impediments to faculty ownership of assurance of learning, including inadequate and misaligned resources, the results indicate that faculty can be energized to become actively engaged in the assurance of learning (AOL) process, particularly when they believe that AOL results are useful and help students prepare for future business challenges. The authors suggest strategies for building a more engaged faculty as well as highlighting ongoing challenges in that process.
