Nuventive is an online tool that supports multiple University-wide services including program assessment, strategic planning, and accreditation. For the purposes of program assessment, Nuventive is used to document program learning outcomes, create curriculum maps, plan assessment methods and timelines, report findings, document action plans, and record the effects of actions. Annual assessment reports are submitted via Nuventive.
