Outcomes Assessment Software That Accelerates Continuous Improvement
Nuventive helps higher education institutions manage assessment for student learning, administrative, and co-curricular outcomes by connecting evidence with action to deliver continuous improvement.
Engage, Streamline, and Deliver Results
How easily can your institutional research and IT teams facilitate widespread participation in assessment and use the results to improve student learning and institutional effectiveness? Too often, assessment requires duplicate data entry, disconnected information, and processes that feel separate from everyday academic and administrative work. Assessment and institutional research professionals are left chasing submissions, correcting incomplete entries, and manually assembling reports.
Drawing on more than 25 years of experience, Nuventive presents relevant supporting information alongside each question of the assessment instrument, with clear guidance on how to use it. No need for data requests and hunting for access to systems. Instead, the information is there to show what is and isn’t working, and how other teams have solved similar problems.
How Nuventive Helps
From student learning outcomes to institution-wide measures of effectiveness, Nuventive connects assessment planning, activity, and information needed to make better decisions.
Plan it. Do it. Prove it.
- Plan it. Create consistent processes for student learning, administrative, co-curricular, student support, general education, and specialized accreditation outcomes, connected to other plans and guided by how-to-use materials and institutional policies.
- Do it. Give faculty and staff guidance and live information in context — such as student demographics, dashboards, and other internal and external information — while reducing duplicate effort through learning management system (LMS) integrations and streamlined workflows.
- Prove it. Demonstrate measurable results, document improvement over time, share effective practices, and streamline progress reporting to boards, legislators, and accreditors– then use the information to plan further improvements.
Working with Nuventive has cracked open a CQI [continuous quality improvement] mindset, and putting it all in one platform will be good for the campus. Rather than needing to dig to find the data on our performance, the software serves up the relevant information we need as we pose each question. We can look at SLO [student learning outcome] reports on one side of the screen while we document the narrative on the other.

Create Consistent, Flexible Processes
Apply repeatable outcomes assessment practices across academic, co-curricular, and administrative units while giving each program the flexibility to meet its unique needs, including specialized accreditation requirements.
Connect Assessment to Institutional Improvement
Seamlessly connect assessment to strategic planning, program review, student support, general education, accreditation, student success, and other institutional initiatives to create an integrated, extensible framework for continuous improvement.
We’ve moved from the micro of the individual department submitting its reports to the macro of institutional-level data… Having this data readily at hand is very helpful as we define ourselves for the future and look for gaps and overlaps in our strategic priorities.
