The article focuses on the national trends in student participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) from the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) in the U.S. and its associated learning outcomes through the use of campus-level assessment. It says that the practices have high degree of positive effect on the self-reported outcomes of students in three state systems such as California, Oregon and Wisconsin State Systems Data; however they are not uniformly effective. It mentions that campuses within the state systems have performed a good job in expanding first-year programming. It adds that college campuses should interrogate NSSE data and other forms of institutional data to help in advancing the knowledge of participation and access to sources of engaged learning experiences.
