Modular Assessment for Modern Needs: The Power of HEIghten

Not all institutions need the same data—or the same kind of assessment.

That’s why HEIghten was built to be modular.

You choose which outcomes matter most and only assess the skills aligned with your general education goals. It’s skills-based testing on your terms.

HEIghten offers standalone modules in five key areas: Critical Thinking, Quantitative Literacy, Written Communication, Civic Competency & Engagement, and Intercultural Competency.

Whether you’re redesigning your gen ed program or strengthening existing assessments, HEIghten lets you focus on the outcomes that fit your strategy.

Each module is research-based and designed for both formative and summative use. You can assess students early to guide instruction or at the end of a program to evaluate learning gains. Either way, you get clean, usable data without over-testing or burdening faculty.

Implementation is straightforward. Institutions can purchase modules directly through our marketplace and launch testing on their timeline. There’s no need for lengthy setup or customization. HEIghten is flexible enough for one department or an entire college.

What sets HEIghten apart is its precision. You’re not locked into a one-size-fits-all exam. Instead, you can tailor your approach, meet accreditation expectations, and provide faculty with results they can actually use. It’s an assessment designed to serve instruction—not distract from it.

With the pressure to show impact growing, HEIghten helps you respond with evidence—clear, focused, skill-specific data—delivered to support both teaching and institutional accountability.
