OECD: Assessing Higher Ed Learning Outcomes

I've just returned from annual meetings of the Association for International Education Administration (AIEA).  This was a very good conference, with record attendance, and participants from twenty-seven countries.  One of the topics that captured attention was the OECD's recently launched global Assessment of Higher Education Learning Outcomes (AHELO).

As global competition in higher education heats up, and as calls for universities to be more accountable grow louder, AHELO deserves more attention.
