How to create a new campus-wide data strategy - Ryan Schnabel, eCampus News

Campuses are now connecting the dots in new ways, enabling them to focus on a wider variety of data sources and metrics to help convey the real value they provide. This can be challenging when balancing financial and academic priorities, but new insights and transparency can help foster collaborative and actionable outcomes.  One new data-driven trend is that institutions are using more institutional data for program reviews or accreditation.
