Project information:

Scope of work: In the Course
Congruence Check, stakeholders look at the course curriculum and assessments and provide feedback on alignment. They perform an
aside-by-side comparison, answering one simple question: “Does the course provide adequate information for students to be successful on each
task prompt?” Reviewers answer”yes” or “no” for each prompt on the assessment. They also provide feedback on whether each rubric aspect
appropriately measures candidate competence of the corresponding task prompt. Once the review is complete, the QA Analyst will compile the
data, deliver the results to the college, and request a meeting to discuss the results and create an action plan for any needed
modifications. A quality assurance checks to compare all formative, summative, and culminating assessments with the curriculum to ensure
alignment or congruency between the assessment and the content.
