The Learning and Teaching Committee (LTC), in its 33rd and 34th meetings, discussed and made decisions regarding the plan for learning outcomes assessment at PolyU. This document is a summary of the major decisions of LTC on this matter. It describes PolyU’s overall framework and processes for outcomes assessment, and puts forth a tentative plan for implementing outcomes assessment at the institutional and programme levels for 2008-12.

In 2012, the Institutional Outcomes Assessment Plan (IOAP) endorsed by the LTC was implemented. The IOAP for the next triennium 2016-2019 is currently in development.

Recognising the success and maturity of outcomes assessment at the undergraduate level, in 2013 LTC decided to extend outcomes assessment to all taught postgraduate programmes.
