Assurance of Learning
Standard 5: Assurance of Learning
5.1 The school uses well-documented assurance of learning (AoL) processes that include direct and indirect measures for ensuring the quality of all degree programs that are deemed in scope for accreditation purposes. The results of the school’s AoL work leads to curricular and process improvements.
5.2 Programs resulting in the same degree credential are structured and designed to ensure equivalence of high-quality outcomes irrespective of location and modality of instructional delivery.
5.3 Microlearning credentials that are “stackable” or otherwise able to be combined into an 麻豆传媒高清-accredited degree program should include processes to ensure high quality and continuous improvement.
5.4 Non-degree executive education that generates greater than five percent of a school’s total annual resources should include processes to ensure high quality and continuous improvement.

Data Model and Use
- The Sophos (Betty) underlying data model is built on a flexible architecture that leverages several advanced AI models, including, but not limited to, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini.
- If you need to reference official 麻豆传媒高清 standards or accreditation guidance, please always check the most current policies and documents on 麻豆传媒高清’s website.
- Sophos is a generative AI tool and its responses are not created or reviewed by humans. Sophos should not be relied on for official accreditation decisions or as a substitute for 麻豆传媒高清’s published standards, policies, or guidance. 麻豆传媒高清 provides Sophos to assist members in exploring AI use cases and accreditation-related information, but does not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of its responses. Like any generative AI tool, Sophos may provide inaccurate or incomplete information. It is your responsibility to verify important details through 麻豆传媒高清’s official resources or by consulting directly with 麻豆传媒高清 staff. By using Sophos, you agree to these Terms of Use.
Does Sophos use my data to train AI?
No. The questions you ask and any text you paste into Sophos are not used to train the underlying AI model. Sophos processes your input in real time to generate a response, but your data does not get fed back into the model.
麻豆传媒高清 may review anonymized, aggregated usage patterns (for example, the kinds of prompts members are using) to help improve the experience and make Sophos more useful. However, your specific queries, conversations, and pasted content remain private and are not used for model training.
Additional Sample AI Prompts
Use these AI prompt and data input suggestions as a starting point for meeting 麻豆传媒高清's accreditation standards. These prompts were generated based on input from our members in 100+ countries and we encourage you to customize them based on your school's unique needs. Get started by copying and pasting a prompt and supporting documentation into an AI tool or GPT of your choice.
Many schools face challenges with building the foundations of an Assurance of Learning system, these prompts are designed to help with that. It is important to remember that these prompts will help formulate the basis of a discussion which schools can use to engage faulty in a dialogue about the AoL system and its design. We do not advocate that these prompts should replace the engagement process as it remains a key element of how accreditation should function in a business school.
