Here are 7 key places to keep book marked for a darned serviceable search on an assessment question or topic:  

1.                  Ericae (ERIC clearing house on assessment and evaluation)  http://ericae.net/  ERIC also offers the online journal, “Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation” You can search via author/title or via a linked subject index.

2.                  The AAHE assessment forum: http://www.aahe.org/assessment/

3.                  The Rose-Hulman assessment site:  http://www.rose-hulman.edu/irpa/

4.                  The Gateway Engineering Education Coalition section on assessment: http://www.gatewaycoalition.org/

5.                  The National Center on Postsecondary Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (NCTLA):  http://www.ed.psu.edu/cshe/nctla.html

6.                  The National Engineering Information Council (part of ASEE): http://www.asee.org/neic/

7.                  The Field-Tested Learning Assessment Guide for Science, Math, Engineering, Science, and Technology Instructors: http://www.flaguide.org (This is an awesome online resource if you are looking for examples, best practices, or shopping for a course-assessment tool to use). 

Here is a list of other web sites / resources to scan through and consult.  Sometimes you can find the most useful things by going to a university’s assessment web site.  This work of measuring learning is challenging so faculty members are generally very happy to share their fruits of their labors with others.
