Boardroom: 1-451Session 1-1 Data Aren’t Enough: To Move the Needle on Student Success, Clarify the PathPresenter - Davis Jenkins

E-advising systems and data analytics can provide powerful tools for monitoring student progress, but they are by themselves not sufficient to move the needle on student success because the paths through college are confusing and programs are often not well aligned with student end goals. This session will examine the efforts of a growing number of colleges and universities that are improving student outcomes by redesigning academic programs and support services to create more clearly structured and educationally coherent program pathways to student end goals, with on-ramps to help students choose and successfully enter a program of study and integrated progress monitoring, feedback and support to speed program completion. The session will present research evidence in support of this “guided pathways” approach. This session will also present a tool developed by CCRC researchers for colleges to assess their readiness to adopt e-advising technology.

Session 1-2 The Reality of Real-time: The “What, Why, and How” of Accessing and Using Real-time Data from Your Enterprise SystemsPresenter - Brian Parish, CEO and Founder, IData Inc.

What do we mean by real-time data? When do we need it (or not)? If we really want it, how do we get it? Once we get it, how do people trust it and understand it enough to use it? This session will discuss lessons learned from a wide range of reporting and system integration projects. The session will include a discussion of data access design decisions, a survey of the technical architecture options for accessing real-time data from various higher education ERP systems, and lessons in the importance of applied data governance.

Room: 2-304Session 1-3Evaluation of Black Male Achievers Program Presenters - Lei Wang, Equan Burrows

This session presents the results of the evaluation of the Black Male Achievers Program (BMA), showing how the program successfully increased course success rates, improved fall-to-spring and fall-to-fall retention rates, and increased graduation rates. The overall purpose of the evaluation was to determine the educational and personal impact of the BMA program on its participants. The BMA program at Tallahassee Community College (TCC) is designed to empower and educate its black male students on the importance of the successful completion of their post-secondary education through the practices of academic, social and occupational excellence.

Room: 2-304Session 2-3Using Co-Curricular Transcripts to Impact Student Development: The Stories of Two Schools Presenters - L.K. Williams, J. Marshall, Ellen Wehrman

This session will provide the stories of two schools that used co-curricular transcript programs to enhance the holistic growth of their students. Both schools sought to support student growth in targeted co-curricular areas. Both used a Web-based tool to collect, validate, and report student activities. Both used the tool to 1) create co-curricular transcripts to support each student’s future educational and professional aspirations, and 2) create institution-level reporting to determine the impact of the program.

Break | 11:50 am - 12:00 pm

Session 2-2Using Analytics To Power and Scale Student Success InitiativesPresenters - Rob Robinson, Kurt Ewen, Paige Borden

As students pursue their education, they tell their stories in the data they create and interact with along the way. That information, captured in higher education databases, is an untapped resource that has the power to transform students’ journeys by improving their learning, academic outcomes, and overall likelihood of success. This session will discuss how diverse higher education institutions are beginning to implement a “data, science, people” approach to delivering the right information, to the right people, at the right time, and in the right way in order to measurably improve and power up student success initiatives.

Using examples from other sectors that have brought together the best of design thinking and advanced analytics to achieve their diverse missions—from business to athletics to healthcare—we’ll catalyze a conversation about how we leverage this approach in education. We’ll then dive into examples of similar work in education as schools, colleges, and universities innovate to help more students learn well and successfully navigate their educational journeys.

In this session, participants will learn what a culture of evidence means and the ingredients for cultivating a culture of evidence, how to assess your data maturity and how to define lead measures and lag measures so you use data not just to track results but to influence results. A framework will be shared on how to use data to increase student success with examples obtained from colleges in the Achieving the Dream Network.

If so, bring your team and learn specific, data-informed strategies to address your students’ non-observable factors - student attitudes, mindsets, and perspectives - that can either drive or inhibit your student success agenda.

Room: 2-304Session 4-3Triangulating Co-Factors to Student SuccessPresenter - Peter UsingerUsing the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and results from its Withdrawal Survey, Polk State College applies the analysis of multi-year data to track student success in courses and across program hurdles. The results provide surprising insights into the interaction between student motivation, learning strategies, and perceived obstacles across various disciplines and delivery methods. The findings concerning academic challenges and personal/environmental factors further help expanding student support options. In combination with course evaluations and student grades, the data aggregate to a good triangulation tool to further facilitate improvements in curricular design, advising, and student success. Additional focus areas are students’ self-directedness, critical thinking skills, and collaborative problem solving to better prepare students for the workplace, and to assist institutions with accreditation needs, predictive modeling, and advancing faculty development.
