Linking courses to IPTS standards

After courses were plugged in for each indicator at the three levels, a spreadsheet was created for each course.  The first column contains the indicator, the second column the hypothetical assessment and the third column contains the level at which the indicator will be assessed.  

Next each course was examined.  Faculty considered the indicators and levels and determined if the indicator was in the appropriate course.  The best place for each indicator was debated and many were moved.  After each was indicator placed, the faculty members with the primary responsibility for the course was given the task of determining which assessments should be used to gather the required data.

A list of indicators not addressed in current courses was created to help guide our thinking about course revisions and the creation of new courses.
