Abstract: This paper is about using projects for assessment of student learning in different courses of an Information Systems (IS) program. An overview of the role of educational projects in student learning is presented. The various aspects of defining standardized rubrics across an IS program are discussed. A methodology for the use of such rubrics in assessing student learning in interrelated courses is proposed and is illustrated by example involving two Information Systems courses.
