Connecting the Campus Around the Student Experience

Abstract

This poster provides an overview of a cost effective open source campus decision-support system that incorporates student survey data resources and institutional data for a large public research university. Though developed within a large university environment, the technical process, open-source software, and implementation are applicable across all types of institutions. Utilization ranges in both depth and breadth, including program evaluation, service enhancement, college and program assessment, accreditation and accountability, and research. The approach outlined provides a common language and base of evidence around which we can convene conversations on our campuses about the student experience.
