Multiple Measures Placement Service
Project Overview
Funded via the Core Applications Project, the Multiple Measures Placement Service (MMPS) project will facilitate collection of high school transcript data, generation of an AB-705-compliant recommended placement in English and/or Math, and delivery of the results to colleges. MMPS will be implemented at representative Pilot Colleges to ensure readiness for system-wide adoption immediately following.
This charter covers the planning, design, architecture, build-out and completion of a scalable and integrated first version of the multiple measures solution in support of AB 705 implementation. The functionality will encompass multiple data sources of high school transcript data, the multiple measures decision tree engine, and an integrated multiple measures placement platform. Based on the results of the previously-completed proof of concept, this work includes planning for the full build-out and release into the CCC system, informed by new or adjusted requirements from the AB 705 Advisory Committee.
The project team will be comprised of representatives from the following groups:
CCC Chancellor’s Office
CCC Technology Center
Unicon
Cal-PASS Plus/Educational Results Partnership (ERP)
California College Guidance Initiative/CaliforniaColleges.edu (CCGI)
as well as CDE and other internal and external vendor partners.
Strong partnership and collaboration with the AB 705 Implementation Advisory Committee will also be required. Additional support may be provided by select colleges and user stakeholders.
Additional information regarding AB 705 and the statewide recommendations and rulesets can be found at: https://assessment.cccco.edu/.
