Short Title: Data Collection     

Description:

Assessment is a critical component of today's higher education landscape. The ability to develop and integrate effective data collection tools and processes will help administrators overcome obstacles and make informed decisions for future initiatives.

Join your colleagues from across the country to examine new and innovative methods such as assessment consortiums, web-based data collection, and mix method approaches. We'll also have an overview of traditional methods such as focus groups, surveys and document review.

You'll learn how to use various approaches and the challenges of each, as well as best practices and examples of how each method is currently being used in student affairs work. You'll take away strategies you can use for conducting assessment on your campus.
