Figure 10 SLOTT ISLO to CSLOs by Department

Source: Authors’ Illustration With the SLOTTs completed the GAP analysis of the cultural ISLO could be easily and visually analyzed by the Assessment Committee and can be utilized to answer any mapping SLO questions for any of the other SLOs, not just cultural. The SLOTTs will become a very useful tool for the Kishwaukee College assessment committee and program for future queries and GAP analysis. Conclusion The strategy was to create several SLOTT dashboards through Excel™ and Power BI™ to find out if the reason for the low amount of cultural ISLOs that were assessed was based on lack of mapped outcomes. In FY18, the 319 assessed outcomes are an extremely low number of outcomes assessed compared to the next closest ISLO, creative at 1,312 assessed outcomes in the same year. The same year communicative ISLO was assessed 3,299 times and critical thinking ISLO was assessed 2,176 times. These results were generated by Outcomes by Anthology Incorporated (Outcomes) as seen in Figure 11. This was a very unequal distribution of the collection of data per ISLO. This was concerning to the assessment committee because that same year the committee requested faculty to collect data for any CSLO that mapped to the cultural ISLO. If the data collection occurred that year then the number of assessed cultural outcomes should be higher than the previous year, instead of similar.
