Getting to Know the New Data on Demand Tool Craig Hayward, Willard Hom, Rick Fillman & Alice van Ommeren Granlibakken, April 27, 2009
Data on Demand: Background Willard Hom & Alice van Ommeren Chancellor’s Office, CCCO
Data on Demand: System Goals • District and college level program evaluation and improvement • Promote local accountability • Leveraging state’s data resources • Improving data with usage
District-level program evaluation & improvement • Scarce state-level funds for conducting local research • Variation by district vs. one-size fits all path • Empowers institutional researchers on campus (leverage local resources and build local capacity)
Promote local accountability • Part of ARCC philosophy of local accountability • Empowers district trustees and boards • Respects community-specific interests • Avoids political issue of imposing a single state model on different communities
Leveraging state’s data resources • Efficiency in operations (avoid multiple data systems and data collection)
Improving data with usage • Data quality as an iterative process • Data usage (an output) as a trigger and reminder
The “Flip Side” • Standard data but not “standard analyses” • State-level conclusions hard-to-get • Coordination as obstacle to linking local efforts
The Data on Demand site provides access to: • Referential Data Files • Categorical Pre-Allocation Data Files • Accountability Reporting for Community Colleges (ARCC) Data Files • Perkins Core Indicator Data Files • Custom Student Data Files and Reports
