SBCCD's use of SLOCloud
SBCCD uses a heavily modified version of SLOCloud. The project only had a front end demo with no back end available when we started, but the idea of simple SLO reporting really resonated with Crafton Hills College (CHC) and San Bernardino Valley College (SBVC). Both CHC and SBVC are currently using it.
Demos!
A functional demo of our version of SLOCloud is available. There is the simple configuration which is designed for SBVC and the rubric configuration in use by CHC.

Additional Features/Changes
We added the following features:
- SLOs stored in SQL Server using Doctrine
- Export all SLOs to a CSV or TSV file
- Two different SLO models supported
- Simple - very similar to the original
- Rubric - uses a 4 level rubric to score each SLO statement
- Ability to add more SLO models should the need arise
- Per model mapping of SLOs to Program Learning Outcomes (PLO), Institution Learning Outcomes (ILO) (Core Competencies(CC) for Simple), and General Education Outcomes (GEO) (Rubric only)
- Summary report for ILOs/CCs/GEOs
- Ability to securely login via an LDAP account
- Emails a copy of the SLO to the submitter when secured with LDAP
- Responsive for tablet resolutions and above
