Book Review

College and university administrators need to understand the outcomes of learning, both to review the effectiveness of learning, but also from a resource allocation perspective. Governments are increasingly looking for evidence of efficacy and effectiveness in terms of learning outcomes. But how do we evaluate outcomes? This collection of chapters helps understand some of the options and challenges associated with this work, using examples from around the world. Clearly written and helpful, the book will provide insights and suggestions, which might trigger new approaches in your institution.
