AACSB assurance of learning: measuring oral communication and ethical reasoning
AACSB asks business schools to show that students achieve stated learning goals, and to act on the results. Teachrity gives assurance-of-learning committees comparable, rubric-scored data on oral communication and ethical reasoning across sections. It supports evidence preparation and does not confer accreditation.
The measurement problem
Oral communication is usually assessed by individual instructors with different standards, which makes cohort data hard to compare and hard to trust.
Common rubric across sections
One rubric, applied to every student in every section and moderated by faculty, produces data that an AoL committee can actually aggregate.
Ethical reasoning
Scenarios such as a misleading sales claim or a conflict between profit and a stakeholder ask the student to decide aloud and explain. The record shows how they reasoned.
Closing the loop
Scores by criterion show where a goal is not met. After a change in teaching, the same scenario can be re-run to show whether it worked.
Sampling for AoL
AoL committees usually assess a sample, not every student. Teachrity records every attempt, so the committee can draw a sample from a complete record and moderate it.
Sample exchange
An AoL committee compares two sections
ChairSection A scored higher on delivery than Section B. Why?
FacultySection B had a different instructor and no rehearsal.
ChairCan we apply the same rubric to both?
FacultyWe already did. The data are comparable across sections.

Frequently asked questions
Does it suit online and executive programmes?+
Yes. Voice practice works at a distance.
Who moderates?+
Faculty review samples and exceptions and keep the final say.
Can it measure AI-era goals?+
Spoken tasks give direct evidence of reasoning that cannot be outsourced to AI.
