Background on HEA 47 • HB0175, Common Transcripts: • Develop and maintain common college transcript system between WCC’s and UW • Develop a plan to establish electronic transcript transfer and common course numbering • Plan shall be submitted to JEIC by Oct 31st
Response to HEA 47 • Statewide HEA 47 Workgroup has been formed • Initial draft of legislative response is underway • Heightened involvement across higher educational partners • Carryover support of Statewide Attainment goal (ENDOW)
Statewide HEA 47 Workgroup has been formed • Representation from: • Wyoming Community College Commission • All Seven Community College • Wyoming Department of Education • University of Wyoming • Support from this group extends HEA 47 • Statewide attainment initiatives • WICHE and Lumina Grants Response to HEA 47
Initial Efforts in Response to HEA 47 7-part Response • 1. Statewide educational data sharing MOU • MOU - expanding data statewide involvement • 10 party MOU • Course level data • Financial aid • Dual and Concurrent enrollment data • 2. Statewide Longitudinal Educational Database
Initial Efforts in Response to HEA 47 • 3. Empowerment of WCCC Academic Affairs Council • Expand charge to include focused activity on identification of statewide course misalignment • UW to be incorporated into that portion of the ACC charge
Initial Efforts in Response to HEA 47 • 4. National Student Clearinghouse as transcript Vendor • Statewide participation and use of singular electronic transcript platform • If needed - bridge for data from non NSC schools

Predictive AnalyticsConsideration of OptionsMr. Andy Corbin, CTO WCCC
Andy Corbin Operations Director Project--Trib.com IT Manager Adjunct-Casper College VP of Technology IT Administrator Appointed by Governor to HIE Identity matching across 68 programs CTO-Community College Commission Created ERP for Family Literacy Program Used to have the Wyoming State record, 1268lbs growing at an elevation of 6100
Where We Started 2012 • Migrate our systems from HP-UX to Windows Server • Moved from Unidata to MSSQL as the database Continued work with the community colleges to agree to share data.
Created a custom system (Data warehouse) to take files from each college. • Bi-monthly downloads with student data being downloaded nightly. • Leverages SAP Business Objects • The Data Committee was promoted to the Data Governance Institutional Research Council. • Created an application the colleges use to make sure the data conforms to the agreed upon standards
Received a very small appropriation • Identity Matching Software • OtisEd • Visualization Software • Tableau • Predictive Analytics • Started with the vendor who scored the best in the RFP, but was clearly not a good fit.
Exhaustive Research and Demos • Civitas • EAB • Nuro Retention • Rapid Insight • Starfish by Hobsons • Enrollment Builders, RNL, Capture………………. It was discovered that this is just not a data analytics project, but that there are opportunities to support student attainment.
Assumptions • UW is interested in participating, but will not be involved in the community college’s final decision. • The community college presidents will be making the final selection of the product with guidance/suggestions from their local IR directors, CIOs and AAC/SSC input. • The AAC and SSC will drive the project at their institutions and coordinate any internal meetings with IT/IR/presidents.
Potential Risks • We currently have permissions by State procurement to purchase the analytics product without issuing a RFP first, based off prior research and prior RFP process. • The business case supports the predictive analytics piece, but might not support the front-end “student-engagement” piece • What is the cost in staffing to run this product at a college? • Will college faculty adopt the use of the product? • Will the product meet the expectations integrating into Colleague and Canvas
Options For Moving Forward • Consider participating in the EAB and Civitas demos hosted by LCCC. • EAB-October 9th • Civitas-October 16th • Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. andy.corbin@wyo.gov
