Inputs Processes/Activities Outputs Outcomes 
[Resources] [Actions, Developmental Programs] [Products of Processes/Activities] [Intended Effect of Outputs] 
What activities or processes are 
needed to produce outputs to reach 
institutional level outcomes? 
For example: 
· Tenure/promotion revision 
· Assessment workshops 
· Teaching workshops 
· Cross-constituency 
discussions 
· Campus enrichment 
activities 
· Media campaigns (branding) 
· Committee organizing and 
work 
What products should be gathered 
that can be counted as evidence of 
meeting institutional outcomes? 
For example: 
· number of publications 
· number of course offerings with 
high impact practices 
· Assessment of General 
Education/Departments 
· Engagement and recruitment of 
students and faculty from 
underserved populations 
· Use of data in campus meetings 
· Use of student portfolios 
What outcomes does the institution want to 
achieve? 
For example: 
· (Short) Increased evidence of student 
learning 
· (Short) Increased involvement of faculty 
using high impact practices 
· (Int.) Increase retention 
· (Int.) Understand achievement of 
learning outcomes for underserved 
students 
· (Long) Moving from a teaching 
centered to a learning centered 
institution 
What resources are available to 
achieve the activities and 
processes necessary to produce 
outputs related to institutional 
level outcomes? 
For example: 
· Campus support centers 
· Academic Divisions 
· Student Affairs 
· Alumni support/In-kind 
efforts

needed to produce outputs to reach 
faculty level outcomes? 
For example: 
· Faculty development 
workshops 
· Research colloquia 
· Recognition days 
· Assessment days 
· Tenure/promotion revision 
What products should faculty 
produce to indicate evidence of 
outcomes attainment? 
For example: 
· Scholarship of teaching and 
learning publications 
· Course offerings 
· Assignments that 
incorporate best practices 
· Number of hours with 
community organizations 
What outcomes does the institution want to 
achieve with regard to faculty advancement 
and learning? 
For example: 
· Greater engagement in scholarship 
of teaching and learning 
· Increased involvement in local 
community 
· Increased awareness of civic issues 
and course material 
· Teaching with high impact practices 
· Use of assessment to enhance 
teaching (and student learning)

Inputs Processes/Activities Outputs Outcomes 
[Resources] [Actions, Developmental Programs] [Products of Processes/Activities] [Intended Effect of Outputs] 
Activities represent programmatic 
intentionality and structured 
opportunities for engagement, 
reflection and interaction. 
Corresponding outputs from these 
activities should be specified in the 
proceeding Outputs section. What 
actions or gatherings would need to 
occur to produce the necessary 
products that can be counted as 
evidence of a particular outcome? 
Outputs are products or results of 
activities from which data can be 
gathered and connected with 
intended outcomes of the 
experience, action or program. All 
preceding activities should have 
an associated output. 
Outcomes can be short-term, 
intermediate and long-term. Short-term 
outcomes are viewed as effects that can 
be measured immediately from outputs. 
Intermediate outcomes may necessitate 
the aggregation and analysis of a group or 
compilation of short-term effects for 
assessment. For example, increasing 
retention rates is an intermediate 
outcome that may take multiple years of 
assessment of short-term gains in learning 
outcomes. Long-term effects require 
extensive data collection over a long 
period of time. 
• Inputs = resources available to 
facilitate processes/activities to 
generate outputs. 
• Human resources = time and labor 
across campus constituencies. 
Financial resources should be 
considered across multiple budget 
and/or departmental areas. In-kind 
or donated resources should be 
included. 
• Curricular resources = established 
programs or foundational courses to 
which new work can be harnessed.
