Mission and Purpose

The mission of eLumen Collaborative is to assist organizations to specify and improve actual learning outcomes.

The purpose of eLumen Collaborative is to:

• create learning outcomes that meet the needs of organizations by developing their ability to support the personal, professional, and intellectual development of individuals, and
• enable organizations to improve their capacity to make learning outcomes visible.

eLumen will assist colleges and universities to more fully attend to student achievement and academic standards. The eLumen program creates, continually improves, and makes available recommended structures and practices that faculty and staff can use to specify, document, and communicate both actual and potential student learning outcomes. eLumen will create a model of accountability that is appropriate to the academic enterprise, both in the liberal arts and in technical and professional programs, and that can eventually be used in other types of organizational settings. As part of achieving these purposes, eLumen provides opportunities for strengthening the position of publicly funded academic institutions in state legislatures, and as such, represents a national initiative to transform higher education.
