Modular by Design: Why HEIghten Helps Institutions Assess What Matters Most

by Eric Stoller

Flexible Assessment for Focused Insight

Academic assessment shouldn’t be one-size-fits-all. Institutions need targeted, skills-based evaluations that align with their specific learning outcomes. The HEIghten® Outcomes Assessment Suite was built with this in mind, offering modular tests that let institutions focus on what matters most, without unnecessary overhead.

A Suite That Adapts to Your Priorities

Whether prioritizing written communication, critical thinking, or quantitative literacy, HEIghten lets you choose the modules that align with your program goals. This flexibility ensures that you measure relevant outcomes and not force students through irrelevant testing.

Efficient, Student-Centered Design

Modular testing is more than a convenience—it’s a better student experience. Institutions reduce test fatigue, improve completion rates, and maintain student engagement by only testing selected skills. HEIghten’s design respects student time while still delivering robust data.

Actionable Data for Academic Improvement

Each module delivers clear, validated insights tied to nationally recognized learning outcomes. Faculty and administrators can use this data to guide curricular adjustments, close performance gaps, and support continuous improvement across academic programs.

Supporting Assessment with Purpose

HEIghten helps institutions meet accreditation standards while staying focused on internal goals. Instead of broad, generic testing, schools can design an assessment strategy that fits their values, mission, and outcomes framework.

Boosting Student Motivation with Badging

With every HEIghten assessment, students can earn digital credentials that reflect real-world skills. These badges provide a sense of accomplishment and give students something tangible to add to portfolios, resumes, and online profiles, motivating them to engage seriously with the assessment process.

Benchmarking and Long-Term Impact

HEIghten supports benchmarking across cohorts and institutions, giving leaders the tools to evaluate learning progress over time. This big-picture view enables more innovative resource planning and more strategic academic decision-making.
