This is essentially a work in progress, and I would expect some follow-up in the future. It sets the stage for program evaluation by asking how we assess student outcomes in a class. Grades only tell a part of the story; some other obvious indicators are persistence and completion, satisfaction, and engagement metrics such as co-op program enrolments. This article (16 page PDF) describes how the authors' "tourney to collect and report on student performance data for continuous improvement of academic programs." It also describes a blending of data and story to provide a picture that is comprehensible and actionable. I enjoyed the discussion.
