  We developed the Learning About STEM Student Outcomes (LASSO) online
assessment platform to increase instructor use of research-based assessments
(RBAs). LASSO does this by making it easy to collect and analyze high-quality
evidence about student learning in their courses. Specifically, LASSO
simplifies the process of administering, scoring, and analyzing RBAs and saves
class time by automating the process online. Course results are anonymized and
aggregated in the LASSO database to provide instructors normative feedback
about their student outcomes.
