Students expect applied learning, and institutions demand alignment between learning outcomes, teaching methods, and assessment. Educators are expected to deliver both, often with limited time and resources.
But one element is becoming increasingly difficult to manage: assessing applied learning.
Educators want students to demonstrate what they can do, not just what they know. This means evaluating performance in a real-world context, where students apply their knowledge to complex, realistic challenges with measurable outcomes.
But assessing those skills consistently and fairly requires more time and structure than most educators can realistically sustain, especially as class sizes grow, and AI continues to challenge academic integrity.
Educators today are challenged to:
Evaluate how students think, decide, and perform through structured, performance-based assessment embedded directly into the simulation experience.
Our assessment portfolio is designed to match the depth of learning you want to measure
(based on bloom taxonomy) and the time you can allocate.

Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used educational framework that categorizes learning into 6 different levels of cognitive complexity. It helps educators define what students should be able to know, apply, analyze, evaluate, and create throughout a course.
Experiential learning naturally supports applied learning. But not every course requires the same depth of assessment.
Our assessment portfolio helps educators choose the level of learning they want to assess, aligning assessment depth with course objectives, academic level, and available instructional time.
Recall facts, terms, concepts, and definitions.
Explain concepts and interpret business information.
Use knowledge in realistic business scenarios.
Evaluate trade-offs, data, and operational performance.
Justify decisions and assess strategic impact.
Develop strategies and improve business outcomes.
The assessment portfolio is currently available for selected Inchainge learning solutions, including Introduction to Supply Chain Management, Supply Chain Essentials and End-to-End Supply Chain Management powered by The Fresh Connection.
