Abstract
The UNO campus recently initiated an electronic portfolio system called myMAPP, to capture data to measure programmatic and individual faculty, staff, and student achievement. Developing an online version of the assessment provided an added opportunity to collaborate with the English composition faculty, and utilizing Blackboard was the most efficient, familiar and convenient. Tapping into the existing technologies and the knowledge base of faculty and graduate students on campus proved invaluable. This presentation shows how two librarians developed an effective, outcomes-based assessment instrument in Blackboard with little money and training and how others can do the same.
