It’s one thing to have data. It’s another thing to actually use it. And with the new industry focus on performance-based funding, institutions are finding creative ways to make the most of the data they already have.
For example, Hilbert College in Hamburg, NY implemented a suite of reporting and analytics tools to create one authoritative source of data. The results were surprising. Michael Murrin, vice president of information services at Hilbert College explains in Harnessing Campuswide Data for Student Success, published by Campus Technology, “Once you start seeing information in ways that you could never see it before, it immediately takes you to another level. It triggers another question about something else that wasn’t previously on your radar.”
