Academic bench-marking innovations to promote the efficient use of instructional resources.Saturday 8:30 am - 11:30 amAbstract: This workshop will use longitudinal data from the Delaware Cost Study to examine case studies where teaching workload and instructional costs have reached the most efficient levels relative to similar programs found in the cost study. The focus will be on developing productivity metrics which can be presented using visualizations to summarize and highlight the relative performance of an academic department within a set of data-informed peer comparators or national norms. The benchmarking methods that will be explored provide a path to efficient resource deployment. The methods used to produce visualizations can be applied in a variety of bench-marking activities.

Many schools have policies, but what are the effective organizational structures and policies that are needed to open up access while reducing risk of improper use? This interactive session will help you review your existing structures or allow you to begin planning your first. Presenter(s): Rick Burnette Florida State University Hampton Roads VI Data Analysis 101: Beginner's Guide to the Excel UniverseSaturday 8:30 am - 11:30 amAbstract: Let’s face it, throughout the nation IR offices typically will have one “language” they can speak fluently: Excel. Within an average day there are multiple Excel files opened and closed as an analyst conducts research and analyses. Yet to a beginner, Excel’s many rows and columns of data can become overwhelming and seem like a very daunting task to master. If you are new to data analysis or need a refresher on good foundation tips, this is a workshop for you! Presenter(s): Sarah E. Hough Valdosta State University Barrie D. Fitzgerald Valdosta State University Hampton Roads VI Data Analysis 201: Conquering the Dark Side of ExcelSaturday, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pmAbstract: Becoming an Excel guru takes time and practice to hone in the skills needed to quickly manipulate data through formulas. Just like when learning a new language one begins to repeat the basic phrases. After a while of using the language, one can then begin to hold their own in conversation. This same method applies to Excel. At first, an analyst begins to use basic stand-alone formulas. Within a matter of months, the analyst begins intertwining formulas and finding tricks to keep reports up-to-date. If you are looking to advance your Excel skills, this workshop is for you! Presenter(s): Barrie D. Fitzgerald Valdosta State University Sarah E. Hough Valdosta State University Hampton Roads VI Don’t Flounder Around on the Data: Ways to Predict Success and Measure Graduate Student RetentionSaturday 8:30 am - 11:30 amAbstract: While much attention and research is focused on models for undergraduate enrollment, retention, and graduation, few models exist to capture those trends for graduate programs. This workshop provides a look at how the existing models at the undergraduate level can be leveraged and expanded to begin building models for graduate enrollment that provide the best fit for the specific institutional context. A simple regression model will be used to illustrate the impact of academic success measures. By the end, each participant will identify the data needed and the initial steps for developing a prediction model at their own institution. Presenter(s): Suzanne Simpson The University of Alabama at Huntsville Jennifer Moore Mississippi University for Women Ginny Cockerill The University of Alabama at Huntsville Andrew Garner Mississippi University for Women Hampton Roads VII Highly Graphical Statistical Modeling for Predicting Student RetentionSunday 8:30 am - 11:30 amAbstract: In this hands-on workshop, attendees will utilize the latest SAS visual interfaces to build predictive models - allowing them to better understand the factors which influence retention and predict which students will return. Presenter(s): John Berry SAS Wes Rehm SAS Hampton Roads III Inviting Students to the Table: Focus Groups as an Assessment ToolSunday, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pmAbstract: Conversations with students in focus groups allow us to dig into the mechanisms behind the patterns we see in quantitative assessment data. They can also help us gather new evidence and answer questions with more detail and nuance than we might get from a survey. Through group discussion and planning packets, workshop participants will learn the benefits of this approach, how to create such a program, and the types of projects students can assist with—all without needing outside vendors or resources. Presenter(s): Will Miller Campus Labs Hampton Roads III Navigating the Challenges of Management and Leadership in our ProfessionsSaturday, 1:00 pm - 4:00 pmAbstract: The roles of institutional research, institutional effectiveness and assessment are becoming more important at most of our campuses.
