AtlasOA: Modern Outcomes Assessment for Higher Education and K-12

AtlasOA is a modern, affordable outcomes assessment platform for higher education. Built by Ashley Reddick, a practicing IT instructor at a technical college in the Midwest, AtlasOA tracks Student Learning Outcomes, supports accreditation evidence collection (HLC, SACSCOC, MSCHE, NWCCU, WSCUC, ACCJC), and maps curriculum. It is the lightweight, transparent, practitioner-built alternative to Watermark, Nuventive, Anthology Outcomes, Weave, and AEFIS. AtlasOA, LLC also builds Atlas K-12, a separate program for K-12 districts that replaces Panorama Student Success.

SLO and program-level outcomes tracking with rubric scoring and curriculum mapping from course to program to institution.

Accreditation evidence collection for HLC, SACSCOC, MSCHE, NWCCU, WSCUC, and ACCJC, with closing-the-loop documentation built in.

Self-hostable, transparent pricing starting at $1,750 per year. Three tiers, no consultant required, no per-student bills.

Why AtlasOA exists

I am Ashley Reddick. I teach Windows Server, Linux, VMware, Proxmox, Security+, and Microsoft Azure (AZ-900) at a technical college in the Midwest. The first time I sat in a department meeting and we started talking seriously about outcomes assessment, I went looking for a tool. What I found was Watermark, Nuventive, Anthology Outcomes, Weave, and AEFIS, all of them quote-only, all of them starting in the tens of thousands of dollars per year, and all of them assuming I had a full-time assessment director and a six-month implementation budget.

Technical and community colleges do not have any of that. We have one or two people doing assessment on top of a full teaching load, an accreditation deadline that does not move, and an IT department that wants to keep our data on hardware we already own. AtlasOA is the platform I wished I had: practitioner-built, transparently priced, self-hostable, and focused on the actual workflows accreditation requires. Read more about why I built it.
