Blackboard Analytics A Quick Peek at Our Data
Reporting Guidelines • Institutional Research is the only source and publisher of official UDC data reports • May I still do my own internal data and analysis for operational purposes? • Yes, absolutely! • May I send out those analyses to external agencies or even to other business/functional units within the university? • For external agency dissemination, after IR’s review • For internal disseminations, with a disclaimer that such reports are not to be considered official university data • What if I want to share internal data to university and external constituencies as “official”? • Obtain IR’s approval in advance
